    Engine Mount DIY ?

    Can you fil in which engine mounts and what car/motor? On 850/70, there is a mount on top rear of motor that is actually called a torque bushing, and usually the first to go (half hour to replace, easiest with an after market replacement but OEM isn't that bad with a few homemade jigs). Then there is a lower engine mount just on top of the frame inside of the right front wheel well (called the front mount, even though it is over on the side, because the front of the motor is actually on that side). That also goes prettty often. Maybe an hour tops for that one, but less on teh non-turbo i understand. Then there are several more mounts and a torque rod under the other sides of teh engine. These others don't seem to come up on the discussion boards nearly as often. Each has its own story about how hard, what tricks, etc.
