2007 4.0 FWD motor mounts
[
Yes, Matt I'm totally interested. Recently when starting from a stopped position of I hit the accelerator my engine hits the back wall.
QUOTE=just Matt;53735]Well, I replaced the front mount Monday night, and WOW what a difference. That was clearly the problem. The acceleration and shifting is much smoother and quieter. No more clunking & jerkiness, and a less harsh engine noise under acceleration. These mounts are fluid filled hydraulic. The new Anchor mount (part number 3147), I could hear the fluid sloshing around when I shook it. The old mount, not at all. The lower stem/stud was seperated from the outer rubber shell, and all the fluid had apparrantly leaked out. It was simply allowing the engine to move until it hit the hard stop within the mount. I was not able to change the rear mount, as I was unable to jack the engine high enough to get the old one out. I was running into clearance issues to the firewall & radiator to get it any higher, and I was not willing to do any further disassembly. The front mount seemed to be the main culprit anyway. Hope this info can help someone else out in the future. If anyone's interested, I can go into more detail of the replacement procedure.[/QUOTE]
