Now that ive buttoned up the rear... (new shocks, springs, lower control arms, and a new set of bushings and the ball joint on the upper rear)... Today i Just ordered a full set of mounts from quadratech... I've changed the trans mount before so that's no problem. My question is... I've read where people have changed the engine mounts using either a shop crane from above, or a floor jack from below... Which would you prefer? Pros and cons of doing it either way?? |

Haha, Let's see, pros of doing it with floor jack with a board is that I have both those things, as opposed to a shop crane which I do not! Con's, I'd rather use the shop crane, you can maneuver easier. (So long as the hoods off.) |

Well, a crane/hoist from above means you'll need to remove the throttle body and intake manifold so you can bolt a lift chain to the block. The factory service manual calls for a block of wood across the full width of the oil pan and jack it up from below. Bob |

So I caved in and called my mechanic... He said he'd do it for a hundred bucks... I said DEAL! lol... Needless to say, thank the heavens I did it because looking at my old mounts... It's a small miracle that disaster didn't strike me! Each of the 3 mounts only had about 1/4 of an inch of the thick black rubber left connected... 2 out of 3 sides were completely sheared off!!! I'll add pics later but cheeeseandrice that was close! |
