How to on motor mount install?

[Tommy the SRT]

Ok so i got my agp motor mounts waiting to be installed at home.
Just a quick question, seems fairly simple to install. Do i need to support the engine at all, while switching them out, I heard i need to. If so where is this point at? Thanks dudes

No. What you are replacing are actually tension strut like pieces, not the actual motor mount. The mount itself will not be disconnected. You can replace both on the passenger side without a jack. I recommend you get the tranny mount as well, I've heard some weird things happening with solid on one side and stock/soft on the other.

yup for the lower mount not much to jack up though it should take 30 mins tops to do both.

word homes I had to jack mine up a bit for the bolt to line up.

I'd support the engine unless you want to possibly have to recalibrate the positioning. The manual calls for recalibrating the engine position so I'd support the engine so it don't move and you don't have to do that.

Guys quick questions before the install!

Should i use locktite on the bolts. Or no. I got it, was just wondering if you guys did/ Cause im sure its a bitch to get off if i use it

Use loctite to keep them from backing out. Use the blue not red.

I'm planning to use dogbones MM's. I searched and read the sticky but no pics. ^^^ Read the above link posts. Very helpful and I thank you. I just have one question though, if I install the dogbones, will the whole thing get out of alignment? Like what I mean is, when you bolt it up, will it mount up straight like the stock ones? Thanks guys

Guys i cant get the freaking lower mount off. I used a jack and have been moving it up around it and it wont align to come unscrewed. Ive tried really hard lol. Any tipss

[Tommy the SRT]

Also i couldn't get it off. Isf it bad to run with the agp dog bone mount on top and the stock mount on bottom. I wouldn't think it would be

Hard to understand that you are having an issue getting it off and reinstalled (no hate just have done this and IMO its easy). The R/S of the engine has a mount plate that the motor pivots on, by jacking up near the oil pan tranny in the front closest to the rad support you should be able to pivot the engine/tranny so that you can easily remove and install the torque struts = get things lined up so that coming off things are not binding and going on things get lined up.

In the service manual theres a procedure for getting the engine/tranny properly positioned, its an easy task and it should be done any time any of the tension struts are removed or the clutch is serviced.

Heres a link to the service manual, it may make sense at this point to look for help in here OR post up images to better help you figure out what you are getting stuck with.
