Question 1

How to Check and Replace Engine Mounts in a 2.7L V6 Engine on Chrysler Sebring?

Accepted Answer

There are four powertrain mounts, The front mount joins the transaxle to the crossmember, the left mount bolts the driver's side of the engine to the subframe, the right engine mount fastens the engine block to the pas/senger side of the subframe and a rear mount links the engine block to the subframe. The engine must be lifted slightly to take weight off the mounts in order to do a check on the mounts. First safely chock the wheels and then jack up the car and support it with jackstands and then dismantle the front wheels and tires. Fix two jacks-one, under the crankshaft pulley and the other, under the transaxle bellhousing: then, put a wooden plank at four points to prevent damages on the parts prior to raising the engine/transaxle slightly off the mounts. Look for signs of cracking either on the mounts rubber or metal; through hardened rubber and check for relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or subframe tightening any bolts holding the two assemblies together as needed. This is a process that can be undertaken to try and make the rubber last longer though it will still deteriorate over time. For the front mount replacement, lift the car and place wooden block under the engine; unlock the front mount through bolt, cross member to front mount bolt and cross member bolts used for the mount before removing the mount. If the mount bracket is bad, remove the bracket to block bolts. The installation on its part follows the reverse order. For the left mount, the negative battery cable is disconnected and the vehicle is lifted upwards and the under-vehicle splash shield is removed also the throttle body air inlet tube and air filter housing. In support of the transaxle, lift it with a leverage to take off some load off the mount; thereafter, unscrew the bolts that hold the mount and replace it with a new one and torque the bolts to the recommended amount. As for the installation, the latter is set up in the reverse sequence. For the right mount: first, drain the coolant reservoir, then lift the vehicle and take off the under-vehicle splash shield. Slide the heater tube aside, and then unbolt the two engine mount bracket-to-timing cover support bolts, and the two engine mount bracket-to-mount bolts. Support the engine, take off the engine mount to body bolts and the body to mount bolts at the under side. Remove the engine mount, install the new one, use the torque to tighten the body-to-mount bolts, raise the engine and again use the torque to tighten the mount-to-bracket bolts. The installation also occurs in the reverse order to the one outlined above. To accomplish the rear mount, unbolt the throttle body air inlet tube and the air filter housing, lift up the car and unbolt the rear mount bracket to transaxle. Divide the bracket from the mount, take out the mounting bolts between mount and subframe, initiate a new mount in the space and fasten the bracket and through-bolt to the mount. Last of all, the fix the mount to the subframe and transaxle and use torque wrench and tighten all the bolts as required.

Question 2

Do engine mounts require attention, and what steps should be taken if they are broken or deteriorated in V6 engine on Chrysler Cirrus?

Accepted Answer

Engine mounts seldom require attention, but broken or deteriorated mounts should be replaced immediately to prevent damage or wear on driveline components. During the check, the engine must be raised slightly to relieve the weight from the mounts. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then position a jack under the engine oil pan with a large wood block between the jack head and the oil pan to prevent damage, and carefully raise the engine just enough to take the weight off the mounts. Inspect the mounts for cracked, hardened rubber or separation from the metal backing, as the rubber may split down the center. Check for relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame using a large screwdriver or pry bar; if movement is noted, lower the engine and tighten the mount fasteners. Applying rubber preservative may help slow deterioration. To replace a mount, disconnect the negative battery cable from the ground stud on the left shock tower, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Place a floor jack under the engine with a wood block between the jack head and oil pan, then raise the engine slightly to relieve the weight from the mount to be replaced. For 1995 through 1997 models, the lower front engine mount is attached to the lower radiator support, so the radiator and air conditioning condenser must be supported when removing the engine support module. Remove the fasteners and detach the mount from the frame and engine, taking care not to disconnect more than one mount at a time, except during engine/transaxle removal. Installation is the reverse of removal; use thread locking compound on the mount bolts and ensure they are tightened securely.
