Chrysler 4743960AC Engine Mount Bracket

For the left mount, Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise the vehicle and remove the throttle body air inlet tube and air filter housing. Support the transaxle and raise it to relieve weight from the mount. Remove the mount-to-transaxle and mount-to-body bolts. Replace the mount and tighten the bolts to the specified torque. Installation follows the reverse order.

To check the mounts, the engine must be raised slightly to relieve weight from them. Begin by raising the vehicle and securely supporting it on jackstands. Then, remove the front wheels and tires. Position two jacks-one under the crankshaft pulley and the other under the transaxle bellhousing-using a block of wood to protect the components while raising the engine/transaxle just enough to relieve the mounts. Inspect the mounts for any cracks, hardened rubber, or separation from the metal plates, and check for movement between the mount plates and the engine or subframe. Tighten any loose fasteners as necessary. Applying rubber preservative can help slow deterioration.

The rear mount replacement follows a similar procedure, which includes raising the engine, removing the heat shield and bracket mounting bolts, and securely installing the new mount.

To replace the front mount, raise the vehicle, remove the crossmember-to-mount bolts, and the through bolt to take out the mount. Then, reverse the process for installation.
