Warnings

Tools required

Parts

• Front engine mount assembly × 1 — 12361-0V040 or equivalent
• Rear engine mount assembly × 1 — 12372-0V020 or equivalent
• Left engine mount assembly (transmission side) × 1 — 12305-0V050 or equivalent
• Right engine mount assembly × 1 — 12303-0V070 or equivalent

Preparation

1. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake
2. Disconnect negative battery terminal and secure away from battery post
3. Raise front of vehicle and secure on jack stands at manufacturer lift points
4. Remove engine splash shield and lower covers for access to mounts
5. Install engine support fixture across engine bay or attach load leveler with chain to engine lifting eyes
6. Apply light upward tension to engine support to relieve weight from mounts (do not lift engine yet)
7. Mark position of all mount-to-frame brackets for alignment reference during reassembly

Procedure

1. 1

   Remove right engine mount (timing chain side)
   From above, disconnect any wiring harness clips attached to the mount bracket. Remove the mount through-bolt connecting the mount to the engine bracket. Remove the mount-to-frame bolts securing the mount to the subframe. Carefully lift the mount assembly out. This mount is accessible from above with minimal disassembly.

2. 2

   Remove front engine mount
   From underneath the vehicle, locate the front engine mount between the engine and radiator support. Remove the engine mount-to-block bolts at the engine side. Remove the engine mount-to-frame bolts at the subframe side. If equipped with a support bracket, remove mounting bolts securing the bracket. Extract the mount assembly downward.

3. 3

   Remove rear engine mount (firewall side)
   Access is from underneath. The rear mount may require slight engine repositioning using the support fixture. Remove the through-bolt connecting the mount to the engine bracket. Remove the transmission mount bolts if integrated with the rear mount assembly. Remove the engine mount-to-frame bolts securing the mount to the subframe or crossmember. Lower the mount assembly.
   ⚠The rear mount supports significant engine weight. Have an assistant help control the mount as fasteners are removed.

4. 4

   Remove left engine mount (transmission side)
   This mount is on the transaxle. From underneath, remove the mount through-bolt. Remove the transmission mount bolts securing the mount to the transmission case. Remove the mount-to-frame bolts securing the bracket to the subframe. The mount may need to be maneuvered around transmission cooler lines or wiring. Extract the assembly downward.

5. 5

   Inspect and clean all mounting surfaces
   With all mounts removed, thoroughly inspect engine brackets, frame mounting points, and subframe surfaces for corrosion, cracks, or damage. Use a wire brush to clean all bolt holes and mounting surfaces. Clean threaded holes with a tap if necessary. Spray brake cleaner on all mating surfaces and wipe clean. Ensure no debris remains that could affect mount seating or torque values.

   Install new right engine mount
   Position the new right mount into the frame bracket. Align the mount with your reference marks. Thread in the mount-to-frame bolts hand-tight. Align the engine-side bracket and install the mount through-bolt hand-tight. Torque the mount-to-frame bolts first, then torque the through-bolt to specification.

7. 7

   Install new front engine mount
   Lift the new front mount into position from underneath. Align with frame mounting holes and reference marks. Install engine mount-to-frame bolts hand-tight. If applicable, install support bracket mounting bolts hand-tight. Use support fixture to position engine for proper alignment with mount. Install engine mount-to-block bolts hand-tight. Torque frame bolts first, then bracket mounting bolts, then engine-to-block bolts to specification.

   Install new rear engine mount
   Position the new rear mount assembly to the subframe or crossmember. Install engine mount-to-frame bolts hand-tight. Adjust engine position with support fixture to align the mount-to-engine bracket. Install the through-bolt hand-tight. If integrated with transmission support, install transmission mount bolts hand-tight. Torque frame bolts first, followed by transmission mount bolts, then the through-bolt to specification.

   Install new left engine mount
   Position the new left mount and bracket assembly to the transmission and subframe. Install mount-to-frame bolts hand-tight. Align the mount with the transmission case and install transmission mount bolts hand-tight. Install the mount through-bolt hand-tight. Torque the frame bolts first, then transmission mount bolts, then the through-bolt to specification.

    Final torque verification and engine settling
    With all mounts installed, carefully release tension on the engine support fixture slowly to allow the engine to settle onto the new mounts naturally. Once settled, verify all mount bolts are properly torqued using a torque wrench in the sequence: frame bolts, then engine/transmission bolts, then through-bolts. Rock the engine gently by hand to ensure proper seating.

    Remove support equipment and reinstall covers
    Remove the engine support fixture or load leveler from the vehicle. Reinstall engine splash shields and lower covers removed during preparation. Reconnect any wiring harness clips that were disconnected from mount brackets. Ensure all covers are fully seated and secured.

Reassembly

1. Reconnect negative battery terminal and ensure secure connection
2. Lower vehicle from jack stands to ground
3. Start engine and allow to idle, listening for abnormal vibrations or noises
4. Turn engine off and re-check all mount bolt torque specifications while engine is warm

Verification

• Start engine and verify no excessive vibration at idle, during acceleration, or when shifting into gear (automatic transmission)
• With engine running, have assistant shift through all gear positions while you observe mount movement - mounts should compress but not bottom out or show excessive deflection
• Perform test drive at various speeds and acceleration rates to confirm vibration is within normal parameters
• After test drive, re-inspect all mount bolts for proper torque and check for any fluid leaks from hydraulic mounts
• Verify engine sits level in bay and alignment marks match original position
