DESCRIPTION
Cushion-type mountings are used at all engine
mounting points. A single front mount is used with
all V6 engines; whereas, dual front mounts are
used with all In-line engines.
The various types of mountings are illustrated
in figures 1 through 4.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Engine mountings should be inspected period
ically and replaced if found damaged or deterior
ated.
IMPORTANT: Broken or deteriorated mounts
can cause misalignment and eventual destruction
of certain drive train components. Also, when a
single mounting failure occurs, the remaining
mounts are subjected to abnormally high str esses.
