Start by disconnecting the battery cable and raising the vehicle on jackstands. Support the engine and remove the through-bolts to detach the mount from the frame bracket and engine for 2WD models. For 4WD models, remove the skid plate, engine crossmember, and engine oil filter. Use an engine hoist to raise the engine slightly and take the weight off the mounts.

If any movement is observed between the inner and outer portions of the mounts, lower the engine and tighten the mount fasteners.

To perform the inspection, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Then, position a jack under the engine oil pan with a wood block between the jack head and the oil pan to raise the engine slightly. Check for relative movement between the inner and outer portions of the mounts.
