GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Inertia principal axes system is incorporated into the engine mount system.
- The liquid-filled mount system have been adopted for engine mounting and transaxle mounting to improve ride feeling by optimizing the insulator.
- Installation of roll stopper in the upper area has reduced engine rolling. Furthermore, enlargement of insulator diameter has reduced idle vibration.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
| CAUTION | *: Indicates parts which should be initially tightened, and then fully tightened after placing the vehicle horizontally and loading the full weight of the engine on the vehicle body. |
Scheme 913
>> A << ENGINE MOUNTING CUSHION STOPPER INSTALLATION
Arrow marks on the engine mounting cushion stopper should face the shown direction.
Note. Disregard F and R stamped as a shared part.
Scheme 914
INSPECTION
- Check the engine mounting insulator for cracks, separation or deformation.
- Check the engine mounting cushion stoppers for deformation.
| CAUTION | *: Indicates parts which should be initially tightened, and then fully tightened after placing the vehicle horizontally and loading the full weight of the engine on the vehicle body. |
Scheme 915
>> A << TRANSAXLE MOUNTING STOPPER INSTALLATION
Install the transaxle mounting stopper so that its arrow points upward.
Scheme 916
- Check the transaxle mounting insulator for cracks, separation or deformation.
- Check the transaxle mounting stoppers for deformation.
| CAUTION | *: Indicates parts which should be initially tightened, and then fully tightened after placing the vehicle horizontally and loading the full weight of the engine on the vehicle body. |
Scheme 917
>> A << ENGINE FRONT ROLL STOPPER BRACKET INSTALLATION
Install the front roll stopper so that its hole points towards the front side of the vehicle.
Scheme 918
- Check the engine roll stopper insulators for cracks, separation or deformation.
Scheme 919
Required Special Tool
- MB991897: Ball Joint Remover
<< A >> LOWER ARM ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Lift the transaxle with a transmission jack, and then withdraw the front mounting bolt on the left lower arm assembly.
Scheme 920
<< B >> TIE ROD END AND KNUCKLE DISCONNECTION
| CAUTION | Do not remove the nut from ball joint. Loosen it and use special tool MB991897 to avoid possible damage to ball joint threads. Hang special tool MB991897 with cord to prevent it from falling. |
Scheme 921
Scheme 922
- Install the special tool MB991897 as shown in the figure.
- Turn the bolt and knob as necessary to make the jaws of special tool MB991897 parallel, tighten the bolt by hand and confirm that the jaws are still parallel. NOTE: When adjusting the jaws in parallel, make sure the knob is in the position shown in the figure.
- Tighten the bolt with a wrench to disconnect the tie rod end.
<< C >> FRONT AXLE NO.1 CROSSMEMBER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Retain the crossmember with a transmission jack, and then remove the crossmember mounting bolt.
Scheme 923
>> A << STABILIZER BAR INSTALLATION
Align the identification color on the left side of the stabilizer bar with the right end of the bushing.
Scheme 924
- Check the front axle No.1 crossmember for cracks or damage.
