rev your engines today I'm gonna show you how to fix a car that clunks when you started up and
also when you're taking a hard corner know when you get a car the clunks when
you start it and then also does it when you corner hard it's often a bad motor mount
because the motor mounts keep the motor vibrations from being
felt while you're driving the car one part bolts onto the motor and the other
part bolts on to the frame of the car so it can't be all metal if it was all
metal the sympathetic vibrations of the engine would be felt in the whole car
and it would be worried you'd be shaking the original cars you like that they really
shock so they have metal and then it's rubber insulation in the middle and the
rubber takes the vibration out but as they age the rubber can rot and crack
and then ya get clogged in now you might think clunking who cares doesn't mean
anything but what's clogging cuz all engine transmission suddenly is going up
and down it'll make your drive shafts ride weird it can snap them off if it's
really bad it's a good idea to fix them and to check what you want bad it's a
pretty simple test go see the jack then put it right here on the engine
transmission assembly right here and start jacking it up in this case we're
watching the front mount here as we see as we jack it up it starts to separate
we go up the top here this gap is starting to get bigger because the
rubbers ripped and this is picking it up in the air now in this case you can see
there's grease all over the place to power steering pumps leaking and that's
gonna help ruin the motor mount so that's gonna be need to be replaced
eventually customer doesn't do that right now they want this fixed right
away he's gonna order a brand new power steering pump because they cost too much
locally and the rebuilt one to jump so he's gonna order new one I'm gonna put
it on for him, gasoline coolant especially power steering fluid it can eat the rubber up
and then the motor mounts go bad no as far as motor mounts go these ones are
pretty easy to get to because they're right on the top here they're not
hidden down on the back like some that can take our first we'll move the power
steering pump runs of are out of the way which in this case is pretty easy just
give this long extension stick a 10mm on
there's two little 10 millimeter bolts one here I'll use a giant
extension here makes it easier to break them loose there's one here and there's
another one on the other side break it loose with your hands now you can see
it's wiggling and we can get this out of the way so we can get to the bolts then
remove this bolt that bolt that bolt over there and the bolt on the top and
in this case they're all fourteen millimeter bolts so that's pretty handy
there comes number two children oh that's how the big extension comes in
handy huh makes it easier to get them off now unfortunately I still can't pull
it out cuz when we look at the new motor mount there's awesome
two giant bolts with nuts we're gonna have to jack it up in here and take the
tire off to get to that they should put the nuts on the top made it an easier
job so I know you got to take the tire off too
so I come to tire cars per usual there's more crap in a way so again I take these
bolts off get this plastic shield off then get that out of the way we don't
take the whole thing off how do you got to do is get enough room so we can get
a socket up here it wouldn't you know when you look at the bottom of them here
they're real long so you gotta have a deep socket fourteen millimeter for
those because they're deep and they need to get it from the bottom but it has to
be deep a shallow one would reach the whole way up as you can see the
extension goes way up inside and then if you twist them there's number one we
look way up inside there you can see it's all greasy but on that greasy bar
the ones gone I know we have to get the other there's no we can pick it up from
the top a little wiggling and here it comes a tight fit and you can see this is all
broken inside see all the rubbers broken here's the new one notice it's not
broken we wear that back in this little hole gravity helps man falls down in
place as we can see here the mount now doesn't reach the hole because the motor
came down so we're gonna Jack the motor up again
we just need to jacket out for tiny bit size you can see now those mounting
holes that end and we can bolt them all on dad put the stupid plastic shield
back on keeps water from splashing on the fan belt really
I put the tire back on they put the power steering pump a reservoir back in
its place just bolts on two bolts hand tighten is fine here all it is is a
reservoir oh way let down a jock slowly so we don't break it in now when we
start at the end you won't bump
the next time your motor bumps when you started clunking on your corner suspect
a broken motor mount that you can change yourself it's a little bit of elbow
grease a little bit of dirty hands if you're not wearing gloves so if you
never want to miss another one of my new carrepair videos, remember to ring that bell
