Installation of rear Motor Mounts.

Hi Fellows,

Hope You can help me. Iam in the process of installing
new motor mounts in my Rugby. Have installed the front two but the installation of the rear ones has
me a little baffled. As the the mount itself is riverted on to The chasis unlike the front that is
bolted on. Has any one replaced these over the past years and could give me some guidance it would be appreciated.
Regards John

Re: Installation of rear Motor Mounts.

What year is your car?
My car has only rubber mounts on the rear of the engine with is enclosed in a square box that is bolted shut with two bolts. And the square box is riveted to the frame.
Support the engine and unbolt the cover from the mount housing. Pry the old rubber out and replace with a new set.
Hope this helps.
