Inspection (Right)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue and 2002 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Observe the motor mount while raising the engine. Raising the engine removes the weight from the engine mount and creates slight tension on the rubber. Replace the motor mount if the motor mount exhibits any of the following conditions:

The hard rubber is covered with heat check cracks.
The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the engine mount.
The rubber is split through the center of the engine mount.
The engine mount itself is leaking fluid.
