hi my people. i just found out that i need a new front lower motor mount. i was checking some videos and its a pretty easy job. so im doing it myself. my question is; is true and nescesary that after changing these motor mounts YOU NEED TO DO AN ENGINE ALIGMENT.? if so, how to do it and why is necessary? thank you.

 

From the manual:


The upper and lower torque struts need to be
adjusted together to assure proper engine positioning
and engine mount loading. Whenever a torque strut
bolt(s) is loosened, this procedure must be performed.


Just download the manual and follow the steps. It's not that difficult.

 

ok. that is good to k ow. since there are many videos showing how to change the part but none of them is talking about that. thank you for the answer.

 

all 4 mounts have to be loose, you will need a floor jack and a short piece of 2x4 and something to measure out 119 mm with, a 50mm torx head socket, you will install the floor jack as described in the instructions and measure 119 mm from each point shown in the instructions, then when 119 mm is accomplished you will tighten the top strut, then the bottom strut then each engine mount, then remeasure

 

Only the torque strut bolts need to be loose while performing the alignment procedure. There's no reason to loosen the engine/transmission mount bolts.
