Engine Mount: Adjustments

ENGINE MOUNT RUBBER INSULATORS

Insulator location (on right side) and transmission bracker (left side) are adjustable to allow right/left drive train adjustment in relation to drive shaft assembly length.

Left Engine Mount Insulator Movement:

Check and reposition right engine mount insulator (left engine mount insulator is floating type and will adjust automatically). Adjust drive train position, if required, for the following conditions:

^ Drive shaft distress
^ Any front end structural damage (after repair)
^ Insulator replacement
^ Engine removal

ENGINE MOUNT INSULATOR ADJUSTMENT

Caution: The engine mounts incorporate slotted bolt holes to permit side to side positioning of the engine thereby affecting the length of the driveshaft. Failure to properly position engine may result in extensive damage to the engine or driveshafts.

1. Remove load on the engine mounts by carefully supporting engine and transmission assembly with a floor jack.

2. Loosen right engine mount insulator yoke screw and two turns on the yoke nut, then loosen the front engine mount bracket-to-front crossmember screws and nuts.

The left engine mount insulator is sleeved over shaft and long support bolt to provide lateral movement adjustment with engine weight removed or not.

Driveshaft Identification (Half-shafts):

Driveshaft Identification And Dimensions:

3. Pry the engine right or left as required to achieve the proper drive shaft assembly length. Refer to charts for driveshaft identification and related assembly length measuring.

4. Tighten right engine mount insulator yoke nut to 102 Nm (75 ft. lbs.). Then tighten front engine mount screws and nuts to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) and center left engine mount insulator.

5. Recheck drive shaft length.
