Motor Mounts Replacement Astro / Safari (RWD)

This is a job you give to someone you don't like, right? The van had excessive vibrations while at a stationary speed in drive. A visual inspection showed the mounts were rotted and falling apart. Video shows tips on holding the bolts and tips on removing those are to reach nuts. A lift point is also shown. Done on a 1997 GMC Safari. Not shown is the aligning of the brackets (through-bolt) and threading in the nuts after completion.

Very good the way you focused on just the specific parts of the job that really make it hard instead of every single detail. Very efficient. The info like sizes of sockets and how to reach the nuts saved me a lot of time. Thanks!

Very important to work on 1 side at a time when using a floor jack. Do not raise the other mount bracket until you have aligned and tightened the through bolt on the mount you started on.

How have those Anchor motor mounts held up? I've heard the quality compared to oem is not great.

[@OldSchoolNoe]

Still good
