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 1102
>> A << ENGINE FRONT MOUNTING CUSHION STOPPER INSTALLATION
Arrow marks on the engine front mounting cushion stopper should face the shown direction.
Note. Disregard F and R stamped as a shared part.
Scheme 1103
INSPECTION
- Check the engine front mounting insulator for cracks, separation or deformation.
- Check the engine front mounting cushion stopper 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 1104
>> A << TRANSAXLE MOUNTING STOPPER INSTALLATION
Install the transaxle mounting stopper so that its arrow points upward.
Scheme 1105
- Check the transaxle mounting insulator for cracks, separation or deformation.
- Check the transaxle mounting stopper 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 1106
>> 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 1107
Check the engine roll stopper insulators for cracks, separation or deformation.
| CAUTION | Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE & CLOCKSPRING . Also, set the front wheels so that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this, the SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious injury. * 1 : 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. * 2 : Indicates parts which should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle on the ground in the unladen condition. If the vehicle is equipped with the Brembo™ disc brake, during maintenance, take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. |

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 1110
<< 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 1111
Scheme 1112
- Install the special tool MB991897 (Scheme 1111)
- 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 1113
>> A << STABILIZER BAR INSTALLATION
Align the identification color on the left side of the stabilizer bar with the right end of the bushing.
Scheme 1114
- Check the front axle No. 1 crossmember for cracks or damage.
