Engine mounts seldom require attention, but broken or deteriorated mounts should be replaced immediately to prevent damage or wear on driveline components. During the check, the engine must be raised slightly to remove the weight from the mounts. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then position a jack under the engine
Oil Pan with a large wood block between the jack head and the oil pan, carefully raising the engine just enough to relieve the weight on the mounts. Ensure no part of your body is under the engine when it's supported only by a jack. Inspect the mount insulators for cracks, hardening, or separation from the metal center. Check for relative movement between the mount and the engine or frame using a large screwdriver or prybar. If movement is noted, lower the engine and tighten the mount fasteners. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands if not already done. For 2WD models, remove the through-bolts, raise the engine with the jack, unscrew the mount fasteners, and detach the mount. Install the new mount(s) in the correct position within the bracket, then install and securely tighten the fasteners. For 4WD models, remove the skidplate from below the engine compartment, the engine crossmember, and the engine oil filter. Install an engine hoist and raise the engine slightly to relieve the weight on the engine mounts, then use a floor jack to support the front axle. Remove the engine mount through-bolts and the bolts attaching the engine mounts to the front axle assembly, lower the front axle slightly, and remove the engine mount(s) from the vehicle. Finally, install the new mount(s) in the correct position within the bracket, then install and securely tighten the fasteners.
