Followed your method of dropping the rack. Took me about 1.5 hours to do it. Thanks.

Thanks for this man, was looking for someone who did it by lowering the steering rack. Now I got a good idea what I'm in for!

When u put the steering rack back up did u have to use the jack to put it back in place or did it just go in easy. I’m about to try and do this myself the exact way on car ramps and with a floor jack!! And also did u use the special motor mount tool?? I need to do these soon because my oil cooler lines ripped and I found out the bad mounts caused it. I already had those replaced and they were a $1000 so I’m gonna try and do the mounts myself. Hopefully there not to bad and thanks!!!

Jovon Padilla I just lifted the rack back up. and use a jack to raise engine up. I used a bottle jack floor jack will work to. I didn't use that special tool I'm sure it would help make it easier but a fixed wrench worked fine for me breaking the top nuts loose on the mounts is going to be the hard part but they do. Remember to put a towel over the alternator if u don't want to disconnect the battery.

Hi, Did you have to support the engine or something while taking those 4 18mm bolts for steering rack? Did you have to jack up the engine to take out the mounts after they were loosened?
@turbocraz15 жыл бұрын
No just take bolts out and u can move the steering rack away alittle. Then jack up the engine a few inches to get the mounts out.

What did you use to keep the engine raised? Also for steering rack... did you take it completely down or just remove bolts and let hang slightly?
@turbocraz16 жыл бұрын
Nick G I used a bottle jack to raise the engine will need to be raised 4 inches or so to get mounts out. And yes just take all 4 bolts holding rack out and let it drop will have to pull down on it to.

Does your motor mount replacement work with long tube headers?
@turbocraz14 жыл бұрын
Similar but will take alot more precision and patience depending on if your header tube is right above the motor mount top bolt on driver side.
