    3. Caution: Broken or deteriorated mounts can cause misalignment and destruction of certain drive train components. When a single mount breaks, the remaining mounts are subjected to abnormally high stresses.

    4. Note: Before replacing any engine mount due to suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is actually the engine mount, not the engine or other accessories.

  4. Observe the engine mount while raising the engine. Replace the engine mount if the mount exhibits any of the following conditions:
    5. • The hard rubber surface is covered with heat check cracks.
    • The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the engine mount.
    • The rubber is split through the center of the engine mount.
    • The GLYCOL™ fluid is leaking from the engine mount.
  5. If there is movement between the metal plate of the engine mount and its attaching points, lower the engine on the engine mount. Tighten the bolts or nuts attaching the engine mount to the frame or engine mount bracket. Refer to Engine Mount Replacement - Left Side or Engine Mount Replacement - Right Side.
