what is the best way to replace the front and rear motor mounts? as well as the subframe mounts? mainly the front rear mounts with the engine in the car

 

I just did all motor mounts this weekend. The trick is to keep the side one unbolted to lift up the front of the motor to pull out the front mount that is in their tight even after both top and bottom bolts are loose. You will need to lift the motor crazy high up. For the rear mount unbolt the top mount so you can lift up the rear of the motor and you need to take out the bracket with the rear mount after motor mount bolts are loose only one more 14 mm bolt is holding it in. Make sure you look at the side mount that was the one that was in the worst shape on my car. That you get by taking off the front passenger wheel and pull back the plastic splash shield. You can see the mount easy.

 

Hi,

I plan on replacing the motor mounts on my 2002 C70... primarily the front and back... have a couple of questions.

1. Did you remove the radiator fan in order to get at the front mount.

2. I have not been able to find the rear mount... where exactly is it?

How long did it take you to do the job? What were the results?

My car has 155K Miles on it... and I have a fairly bad vibration that I didh't have before... have replaced the mount by the passenger tire, the upper and the transmission mount.

What were the reasons you decided to do all of yours... were the hydraulic mounts bad... and how can you tell.

Thanks
