Always observe the tightening torques of the engine mount mounting bolts. When purchasing suspension parts and mounts, remember that they are different for manual and automatic transmissions.
Engine mount adjustment is only required if the engine and gearbox have been removed and the rubber-metal mount has been unscrewed from the engine and its support beam. To properly install the engine, do the following:
- loosen and then tighten the engine mount bolts by hand 5-6 turns;

- rock the engine back and forth to level it and tighten the bolts and nuts to the specified torque values (fig. 24 and 25).
