Thank You

tengo una del 2006.y no quiere cambiar se queda en un solo cambio pero aveces cambia y.haora no cambia será el sensor de drai

I was driving other day and when I tried to move it seems to be break engaged and have hard time to move, by driving eventually get a little better. I went o mechanic and first he suspected the breaks were ceased, but it was no that and look the engine mounts and both were broken and he changed but the problem still there. when I put the car in Nutural and you should be able to move the car by pushing it, but it does not and look like the something holding it. Do you know what could be the problem?

awesome video bro! i hane no mechanic experience at all and this is gonna help ALOT when i get ready to replace mine on a 2002 cruiser i just bought! thanks alot bro!

very awesome. love the thoroughness. I may just have this problem. thanks!

We recently took our PT Cruiser in for a tune-up. Then 2 weeks later something happened to the motor mounts and the engine came loose and destroyed the axle and damaged the transmission. I'm curious if the motor mounts are even touched during a tune up. Are they removed to make more room during the tune-up? They told us that the motor mounts failed and they don't know why and that when that happened the loos motor mounts destroyed the axle but a friend tells me that the motor mounts being loose would damage the axle (the opposite of what the mechanic is telling us). I also feel that when they did the tune up they didn't put thing back properly and that is what created the damage to our car.

Great vid!!

thank you sir! Other videos tell you that you have to remove the tire and the belt that's next to the mount underneath the passenger seat. which i don't mind, but looking at the way you did it seems less of a hassle and fast/easy work! Appreciate it!

i went to crysler dealer they say there's only 3 engine motor mount.. they said the center mount is the hardest will take 8 hours labor coz they have to remove half of engine but Idont know where is center is it at the back of engine or at the bottom?

Great video Ratchets And Wrenches! I have only one question, I have read that after putting the bolts, you don't tighten them too much. You go for a ride and then fully tighten the new mounts. is this a necessity ? I have an audi A4 b6 2002 model. The mounts are hidraulic. Thank you !

You need to adjust the engine position before you tighten the torque strut mount bolts. That's why the small end of the torque strut has a slotted hole.

excelllent demonstration. Having the same motor mount replaced on my 2004 PT cruiser this week. Thanks for the video!

Best video by far that I've seen yet! Out of 20 videos I've watched. Thank you very much!

Do you t think he is Legal? jaja.. :-) Thanks bro thumbs up!

That explains the problem with my PT Cruiser. Same issues. Thanks for this awesome video.

Excellant video ! great job ve ry detailed.

I have a 2002 Toyota camry and I feel vibration in the brake pedal especially when the ac is on. What could it be?

Yeah I'm gonna have to do this just to replace the control arm on that side. The motor mount is to close to the control arm bushing bolt. Thanks for the help.

Those aluminum "motor mounts" are not mount but torque struts that control the twisting or back and forth movement of the engine due to the circular rotation of the crankshaft, flywheel, and other moving engine parts. Torque forces controls. I also used to call them motor mounts. It is very useful to know the difference. Nice video, nevertheless.

thanks it really made my job ease

Thank you for making this video. I was replacing my suspension a couple of weeks ago and noticed that my right lower mount is very torn, and it explains why I've been feeling the symptoms. If the part I ordered had the correct size hole drilled for the front bolt, it'd have been a quick fix basically following the steps you showed, but tomorrow I've gotta track down a large enough drill bit to ream it out before I can actually fixer up. I have a pair of poly bushing inserts that're designed to fill the gaps left by the rubber, so I'm not too worried about having to replace this again, at least not for a while.

Just used this video for my wife's 02 PT. Took about an hour total. Make sure you put the car on a jack stand or the front bolt won't line up...

Do you know how to align the engine after you change the upper and lower mounts. I have the measurement and the schematic drawing and a description but I'd like to see it done. I can't find any videos on it. The measurement is 119 mm.

I saw 3 other ask and no response question transmission mount where is it? I went to your battery temperature clip and you didn't say any or show anything on the the mount by the battery.

Good video on replacing the torque strut. I was hoping it was the actual mount that supports the engine weight, as that would include removal and reinstall of the mounting plate. I just replace my cylinder head gasket, cam seals, turbo cooling lines, water pump, and timing belt, and getting that darn plate back in is the hardest part!

Great video thanks I will check tomorrow morning to see if I got bad motor mounts I got 2002 Pt Cruiser that I got Given from my mom :)

I have a PT Cruiser 2003 and it keeps setting off on me what should I do

Great explanation dude, thank you

thats my problem,,,,,thank you

i have pt cruiser 2003 , after i changed the oil , got oil change light i rest the light as i watched in a video , next day got the change oil light again , sometime it shows in my dashboard sometime disappear !! also the engine light when i turn the keys half turn it shows in my dashboard , full turn it doesn't show , yesterday it was on with the full turn !! i really don't understand ! there is engine noise , it is too loud especially when you go up hill , last time i was fixing my car at my mechanic he told me i have to drive 50 miles before going the inspection ! not sure why he said 50 miles , any way i drove like 200 miles , then i went to the inspection but my car got rejected , they said something about there is no communication with the OBD car ! went back to my mechanic he ask me did you drive 50 miles ! i told him i already drove 200 miles , somebody help me , what exactly i should fix in this car !!

Great video thanks for the step by step instructions, it gave me a better understanding if I should pay someone or do it myself, I am doing it myself thank you!

Ridiculous! Not A Motor Mount Video. Torque Strut Video. I spent the last power on my cell phone thinking this video is for motor mount. These are torque struts his working on. Numbnuts

Gonna do this job to my mother in law this Sunday..

well ya missed the splash shield bolts and sizes even if its missing on your vehicle in spots this rather hinders the mechanic not aware. I know they are 8 or 10 mm blots but at least you should aware the mechanic watching they are there and the sizes . Point out maybe, how many an where .

👍👍👍👍👍

I wish just ONE VIDEO would show where you put the jack exactly on the front of the PT. Can't find a single one! Nicely hidden behind the wheel here can't see shit.

Is there a better quality lower motor mount bracket?
My new one only lasted 2 weeks and it's already tore up.

WHAT? No torque specs? Ohh,
Good old German torque,
Good-in-Tight!

😂

I know this video is old biut for people watching it, the jpper and lower ARE NOT\MOTOR MOUNTS The POT Cruiser has only ONE motor mount, the center one. On the other side, the transmission one. The upper and lower in the front are TORQUE STRUTS. They control the forward and backwards movements of the engine while you accelerate and slow down.

How long does it take to replace a motor mount on a car like the one in the video?

what happens if you neglect that issue and keep driving without replacing the motor mount?

Great video thanks

If you have a second person to check it while you hold the brake and press the gas, make sure you have two tires nicely blocked, or that could not end well.

Thanks! A decade later! Great info! 👍
