Ford fusion v6 rear engine mount removal and replacement w/ aftermarket poly mount torque strut diy

Replacing rear motor mount on a 06 Ford fusion SEL V6 with upgraded mount from Steeda Autosports.

[@robertburton8055]

You know you’re a good mechanic when you can take a video with your phone while explaining how to change a part while actually changing the part

[@meatradomis91]

Thank you I appreciate that.

[@mattsinn9518]

I just did the top two on my Fusion V6. Transmission mount was timely. I ordered the three mounts as a kit on Amazon. Even after changing the top two (one was shot) I still experience the clanking and engine movement along with vibrations when accelerating. Will definitely be getting the torque mount done tomorrow. Seems to be the easiest one and the most important. We drive a lot on the highway and that vibration is annoying.

[@dhibbard0824]

Thanks for the detailed video I thought I was gonna have to drop the exhaust

[@nickj5657]

Getting a 8mm and 15mm ratcheting wrench makes this super easy. Done in about 10 mins. Highly recommend them if you are having trouble

[@cheffrank_357mach5]

I did this today Thanks for the video!. It was very easy on my 4 cylinder I had to push the engine a bit ( by hand) to get the bolt thru but very easy job Mine looked like it needed it My others were completely toast

Very helpful. Wish I could have seen your installation.

I know this was my first video ever I think. Didnt plan ahead lol

[@spiritarmour1]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@ldynasty.5024]

Helped a lot. Thank you

[@milkparker4479]

you saved my day good sir

[@salaciouscrumb9443]

On the Steeda website there are reviews that say this mount fits the 4 cylinder Fusion but it does not. There is a huge gap between the rear bracket and the Steeda mount about the size of the spacer that is provided. The only way I can see this working is by purchasing a spacer or pinching the bracket to the strut mount. Anywho just some info for those looking. Nice vid

[@AlexanderMaldonado-hl3pj]

thanks for your video

[@techhead1012]

Good video , bad replacement part ,you need to go oem with these stuff. Edit: that replacement part is actually interesting ,I would like to hear feed back from you .

[@kinglangren]

Thanks will tackle this today. The bolt order will help sir

[@kinglangren]

Worked great! Pretty simple job but definitely could have done some extra work.

[@uknowngamer1017]

Thanks dad, I needed a how to

[@TheRealFRILL]

That Steeda part now costs $135. Have one on the way. Hope it lasts. Great video btw. Thanks.

[@meatradomis91]

It will last. I took this one off and put it on my '10 when I sold it lol

[@jeogriffith]

Thanks!

[@renenunez4015]

Thank bro

[@armandomatoswalon4758]

Hey Man, good vídeo. Di you had to hold the engine on the bottom to do the replacement?

[@meatradomis91]

XkLtoR88 no this doesn't actually hold the engine in the car so no need to brace it as long as your upper mounts are good. Great question thank you

[@jamieshelton661]

I cant get the holes to line back up when I put the new one back on. Is there certain way it has to be turned or anything when reinstalling it? Something I may have missed? Because I am stuck lol

[@ranz9688]

Thank you for this video! I have the same car and same problem. I am curious about the big washers. Did you add the washers by yourself or the washers come with the mount?

[@meatradomis91]

glad you liked the video!. this specific mounts comes with the washer that acts as a spacer.

[@meatradomis91]

[@ranz9688]

My engine shakes when i am waiting for a red light. Just found the mount you changed in the video broke on my car. I dont know the shaking is caused by the specific mount or one or the other two mounts are also bad. I find the mount on amazon about 20 dollar. I am thinking whether i should go to lowes to get four large washers to work as spacers.

[@ranz9688]

I have got the part from amazon, and i will replace the old one on car soon. It looks like that there is no need to jack up the engine to do the job, right? when we take the mount off, the engine will not drop, right? Thank you very much for this video.

[@meatradomis91]

Ran Zhang it doesn't hold the engine so your good

[@mattsinn9518]

Any idea the size of the single bolt? Is it a 13mm? I just want to know before replace it. I'm sure you can't fit a socket on it and I don't have any wrenches either.

[@davidayala3489]

Is there a certain order to change them all out?

[@LiikyTv]

Where did you get that heat shield?

[@jeogriffith]

How would you know if you need to do this?

[@dontno7240]

What website u went to order the mount

[@TheAngryFishh]

Would this be the "mount" that causes the engine to rock when starting? I've been noticing that on startup the motor will move quite a bit. I have the 3.5.

[@TheAngryFishh]

@Jonathan yep sounds exactly like what the issue was. Ended up trading in the Fusion in December, tho.

[@gironimo800]

Any video on transmission mount?

[@jangonzalez5627]

Frank Giron yeah mee to i am looking for one

[@DonQuixote1889]

Quick question, what are the indications that this part needs to be changed? I have a 2010 and I'm getting a minor shake when going from 1st gear to 2nd.. transmission is good and it doesn't skip. Hope this is it.. any help would be great

[@meatradomis91]

You have to get under with a pry bar and see how much it moves. Hopefully it is that and not a torque converter. But you'll be able to see if the rubber is shot while trying on it

[@DonQuixote1889]

@@meatradomis91 awesome, thanks for the reply

[@jasonscarborough374]

What is the ride difference with the new Steeda mount verses the O.E.M part?

[@meatradomis91]

Jason Scarborough its more rigid than the oem. Some "buzz" in the steering wheel but that is expected. I feel like my front end lifts more when punching it. A good thing lol. I will be replacing the struts and installing drop springs soon and will make a vid on how I'm doing that with minimal cost.

[@michaelogburn]

Are they all 15mm?

[@aripsp]

im thinking of installing this rear mount on my car, how well has it hold up sense you installed it? is it still going nice and strong?

[@meatradomis91]

AncientLionOfG it's held up really well, I've been under there a few times for oil changes to inspect it. I was worried about it melting since it's so close to the exhaust but it's fine. Definitely get that heat shield back on there tho. It's more expensive but it's worth it if you do it yourself. Hope this helps

[@aripsp]

thanks for the reply! i brought and installed mine the other day and its great! i have a 4 cylinder so my heat shield isnt as close as yours in the 6 and it was a little easier to install then how you show in your video but it did help alot, so thanks for sharing this video on youtube.

[@meatradomis91]

you got it man.. give it to those accords lol

[@johnvalentine3456]

Thanks for the excellent video. I started to do this job, following your video, but the heat shield was in the way, and try as I might, I could not see in that tight space (rhino ramps not that high!) how to remove the heat shield to get at the mount. Any tips? Thanks

[@meatradomis91]

Yes I don't show it but I mention it at the end of video. Removing the heat shield is probably the hardest part. You have to remove the heat shield before anything else. 2 small bolts which are standard if I remember. 7/16ths or somthing stupid like that lol

[@jeogriffith]

How can I tell if I have this problem? How did you get this diagnoses? Just wondering because my car starting to shake a lot when it's in drive but goes away if I put it in neutral.

[@meatradomis91]

Joe spliff mine was so bad that I could move my engine by hand. But the way to diagnose any bushing is to first visually inspect for any cracks and separation. Then get some sort of pry bar and see how far the engine moves when prying.

[@jeogriffith]

meatradomis91 is there any other way of telling it's bad just by driving?

[@meatradomis91]

Joe spliff during stop and go you could possibly hear a clunk if it's really bad. Maybe rough shifting as well but that would be severe. If it has never been replaced and your car is 10 years old then most likely it's ready for a new one.

[@jeogriffith]

[@raaedshaikhany9967]

Nice video Sir , But can you help me to find part # of engine torque mount for 2017 ford fusion sport V6 twin turbo , i can’t find it anywhere :-( please

[@meatradomis91]

I'm assuming you don't mean an oem replacement. Nothing by steeda, so I doubt there is anything bolt on yet. Try looking for polyurethane inserts by energy or someone like that. Fusion owners usually have to wait a lil longer than others for performance parts unfortunately but steeda would be the ones to come out with it first.

[@raaedshaikhany9967]

Thanks for your reply , hope to find it soon Any one else can help me with my request please , my car still at workshop waiting for new parts :-(

[@hectorgomez9192]

The part you took off first broke from mine. What is it called?

[@meatradomis91]

First thing that comes off is the heat shield (not shown in video). The first part in the video is the torque strut bracket. Best bet is to call a junkyard for it.

[@charlesgray6413]

Do the new mounts come with new bolts?

[@meatradomis91]

No. That would be a dealer order I'd assume or you can match them up a fastener dealer.

[@xpost7121]

What are the Torque specs?

[@jedmeltonmusic698]

Is this the same on a 2010 Ford Fusion V6?

[@meatradomis91]

Yeah I took this off and put it on my 2011 lol. Its a little different but the same mount.

[@TH20653]

Did you jacket up both sides or just one?

[@meatradomis91]

You actually only have to Jack the car up. This mount doesn't hold the engine in the vehicle so as long as the upper mounts are good there is no need to Jack the engine or anything if that is what you mean. You can throw a Jack stand underneath it to be safe tho

[@TH20653]

@@meatradomis91 Thanks Man....I meant should I jack up both sides of car (on jack stands) or can you get get there with 1 side jacked

This oem mount is crap. Cheap rubber. The one I put it is billet aluminum with polyurethane bushings, much better. Took it off this car when I sold it and put in my 2010.

[@Schwifty1055]

I’ve seen people saying this helps with traction is this true?? My mounts in my 2010 arnt bad but if the statement is true I’ll purchase steedas mount

[@meatradomis91]

@@Schwifty1055 don't see how it would help with traction. It just keeps the engine from torquing. I would say tires are what mostly dictate traction.

[@Schwifty1055]

@@meatradomis91 if I recall correctly they said it would like eliminate wheel hop if when WOT or something I’m not sure

[@meatradomis91]

@@Schwifty1055 these type of mounts theoretically put more power to the wheels because there is less loss due to the engine not torquing as much. That causes less traction actually. Suspension and tires dictate traction. Old school hot rodders used to chain their engine to the frame for the same reason. Unless they were just doing a burn out session their suspension and tires were able to handle that. I would say don't waste the money. It's a fusion. If you want to race there better options lol
