Can you change out motor mounts in the driveway?
Can you change out motor mounts in the driveway?
Can this be done by a novice? What all is required and how is it done?
Also, how 'bout the rear lower control arms? Just unbolt and change out with rear end on jack?
Thanks

It can be done, Theres not alot of room to work, so it sucks, but its doable
1) Get your car on jackstands
2) Put a block of wood on a floorjack, and SLOWLY jack the engine up by the Oil Pan. Just lift it a little bit to get the tension off the mounts. And dont crank it too high or you'll f up the oil pan
3) Then take out the bolts that go through the mount and into the engine.
4) Unbolt the bolts that mount the motor mounts to the frame.
5) Pull the mounts out, and if their caught up, you might have to jack the engine up a little higher.
You install the new ones same as taking the old ones out. Get Poly motor mounts btw ...
It's not hard too do, just frustrating cause theres not alot of room to work without having to start ripping **** off, it is doable though.

It is actually easy if you take the headers out. I don't think I could have done them with my FLP headers in there.
Id suggest you jack the motor up slightly from the balancer. I did the block o wood and dented my oil pan.
Id also recomend solid mounts. Unless you have a daily driver, then the vibration might get to you.
