CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the left engine mount with the new mount listed under Parts Information. If the customer reports a bouncing sensation from the front end at
35-40 mph, in addition to the compressor noise, also replace the front transmission mount as described in Bulletin 84-037.
Left Engine Mount
1.
Support the engine with a jack or a hoist.
2.
Remove and discard the left engine mount. Also discard the flat washers shown.
3.
Install the new mount. Torque the nuts (or nut and bolt) to 75 N-m (55 ft.lbs.), then tighten the long bolt so it's just snug.
4.
Remove the jack or hoist, then torque the long bolt to 65 N-m (48 ft.lbs.).
5.
Start the engine and make sure the A/C suction hose isn't touching the mount; if necessary, bend the metal end of the hose so the hose will
clear the mount.
