I know the upper engine mount should be tightened to 65-60 ft/lbs. However, I can’t find a clear answer for the rear mount. I’ve heard there are 3 or 4 main bolts, and that each bolt might need a different amount of torque. Can you help clarify this?

The engine mount on the passenger side has 2 nuts and 2 bolts. Tighten the nuts to 80 Nm (59 ft-lbs) and the bolts to 90 Nm (66.38 ft-lbs).
There are also two other mounts for the transmission. The top one, located under the battery compartment, has 4 bolts. Tighten these bolts to 48 Nm (35.4 ft-lbs).
The other mount is below the transmission near the firewall. It has 2 bolts that should be tightened to 80 Nm (59 ft-lbs).

Thxs. So, I’m assuming the 2 main bolts need to be torqued. Do the bolts on the bracket need to be torqued too, or is it enough just to make sure they’re tight? The bracket holding the mount needs to come off, and it has 2 additional bolts that need to be removed.

heads up when tightening the engine mount bolts, ensure the engine is properly supported. Sometimes it’s easy to overtighten if the engine isn’t in the right position.

it’d be wise if can clean the threads of the bolts and nuts before torquing them down. Any rust or debris can affect the accuracy of torque settings

be sure to check the engine and transmission alignment before tightening everything down. You may need to adjust the position slightly to ensure everything fits perfectly.

If you’re working in a vibration-prone area, use thread locker on the bolts. It’s a small yet more effective to help keep everything secure for long.
