Inspection
Check engine mounts and stabilizer links as follows:
1. See Figure 1-66. Check for cracks ortears in engine mount isolator rubber (17, 18).
2. Check for lateral movement at each end of the three stabilizer links (8). Any lateral movement indicates the need to replace the stabilizer link. Rotational movement does not indicate excess wear.
3. Check that all engine mount bolts and stabilizer link screws are tight. See 2.25 STABILIZER LINKS, 2.26 FRONT ENGINE MOUNT/ISOLATOR, or 2.27 REAR ENGINE MOUNT/ISOLATOR for torque specifications.
4. Check that the mounts are supporting the weight of the motor.
