Just wondering, gonna be replacing left front motor mount on my '94 EJ1. What all is involved in doing this? I was thinking of just jacking up the engine until the mount had little pressure on it, remove bolts, put in new mount, bolt in, done. Anything I should be aware of or that I'm missing?

Thanks!

P.S.: It's a JDM D15B.

 

thats how id do it.. pick a good spot to jack the motor at. at least a piece of wood between oil pan if u jack it there.

 

Got some 2x4s laying around, definitely gonna be putting that in between the jack and engine. Seems like a pretty solid idea to me, was just thinking I might have overlooked something.

Thanks!

 

Front left as in the passenger side lower torque mount?
If so, you don't even need to jack up the engine for that one.

 

Nope, I mean the driver side front mount (front left from chassis orientation). The one right by the power steering reservoir, etc

 

Oh ok.

Yea, then just support the engine at the oil pan with a jack and a block of wood. Then remove the 2 bolts holding the mount to the engine's bracket, and the bolt holding the mount to the chassis.
To get to that chassis bolt, all you have to do is slide the power steering reservoir up and then pivot the lower hose on the reservoir so you can turn the reservoir up and out of the way without unhooking it.

 

Thanks man, appreciate it! Was hoping there was nothing more to it. Car has some terrible shaking going on and the mount is clearly shot, so hopefully replacing it will sort it out.

Will report back and let everyone know how it went.

 

oh and if you have cruise control, you'll have to unbolt the 3 bolts holding the box to the chassis, where it is above the engine mount.

 

Ah yup I do, thanks for the heads up

 

Have you also checked the right and left front torque mounts? If the engine is shaking, they are also likely to be shot.
