Chrysler 5105450AB Insulator

For the right mount, remove the coolant reservoir and power steering line bracket fastener. Raise the vehicle and support the engine. Remove the engine mount bracket bolts and the engine mount bolts. Replace the mount and tighten the mount-to-body bolts to the specified torque. Lower the engine and tighten the mount-to-bracket bolts. 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.

For the left mount replacement, disconnect the negative battery cable, raise the vehicle, and remove the under-vehicle splash shield, throttle body air inlet tube, and air filter housing. Support the transaxle and raise it to relieve weight from the mount. Then, remove the mounting bolts and replace the mount, tightening the bolts to the specified torque. The installation follows the reverse order.

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.

The mounts should be inspected for cracks, hardened rubber, or separation from the metal backing. Additionally, any relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame should be checked.
