ok, so i noticed my 98 sevilles 118930engine rocks when put into drive and reverse with brake on, so now i looked into motor mounts, was quoted by caddy dealer at 850 bucks for just the front mount, so i was reading some other post and think i can handle this job, and save about 700 dollars, but i was wondering if i could get some specifics from anyone who has done this job or knows how to do it! i was wondering if it can be accomplished with 2 ramps 2 jackstands and 2 jacks, i have heard you have to drop subframe, but was wondering if anyone has removed radiator and done the job with just a jack supporting the engine or if at all possible, but anyways i will be starting in the afternoon today and hope to hear some good news regarding this job...also should you replace the transaxle mount at same time or let it go, thx guys.

P.S.- just had caddy dealer do my rack and pinion and was wondering if stress from that job could have caused my motor mount failure.

 

HELP!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:'(]

 

i JUST read a book (Chilton's Guide) about replacing a motor mount. Seems like this is a HIDDEN secret and have not found any help within this forum or others so far. The dealer is a serious RIP OFF, and there's lots of folks on line that MIGHT tell you if you pay them enough. Really thinking of making it my goal during retirement to put a website together where good honest normal people can exchange "how to's" without all the advertisements and poorly designed search engines. Good luck, I'm going to replace all my mounts, roll bars, lower control arms, bushings, tie rods and shocks all around (passive system). I've done this on a Lincoln Mark VIII and great results so I expect the same. The roll bars front and back are upgraded after market stuff. This air conditioning sucks rocks though and will work on that another day after winter is almost over.
