Mopar 68080774AC Engine Mount Bracket

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.

There are four powertrain mounts, the front mount connects the transaxle to the crossmember. The left mount secures the driver's side of the engine to the subframe. The right engine mount attaches the engine block to the passenger's side of the subframe. The rear mount links the engine block to the subframe.

Replacing the left mount involves disconnecting the negative battery cable, removing the air filter and housing, and following similar steps to replace the mount.
