Default passenger engine mount and dogbone mount - 10-27-2009 , 08:13 PM






I have a worn passenger side engine mount and I suspect the dogbone
mount (rear engine mount) may be worn as I'm getting aknock coming right
from that area when reversing out of the drive and touching the brakes
theres a clunk coming from the dogbone area.

I was just wondering swhat the process for changing the engine mount is.

jack up a solid part of the engine to take support of the engine and
undo the bolts for mount remove, replace, (new bolts) , new mount on,
torque up and lower engine, which should drop a bit but not onto the the
floor ? job done.

And same for the sogbone mount ?

You didn't say what the car was.
But my Mk4 V5 had a knock from that area and it was a broken spring.
Told it was a common problem.
