2006 Chevrolet SSR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the right engine mount on 2006 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Proper replacement of the right Engine Mount starts with vehicle support followed by front tire removal along with wheels and subsequent removal of the shock module. Begin by taking out both lower Engine Mount retaining nuts from the Engine Mount frame bracket before you detach the three mounting bolts between the upper Engine Mount Bracket and engine block bracket. Attain a pole jack which should be placed underneath the Oil Pan with a wood block positioned between the two components before uninstalling the three frame Engine Mount Bracket retention bolts. Lift the engine 2 1/4 inches so that it reaches from the Oil Pan base to the front transmission crossmember support then transfer it to the left frame side. Disassemble the frame by removing the Engine Mount frame bracket and its combined assembly with the Engine Mount and upper Engine Mount Bracket. Application of Engine Mount Bracket spacer depends on damage identification. When installing the bracket spacer for the Engine Mount replace it first before securing the bolts to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) while positioning the cut-out area of the Engine Mount shield opposite the engine. Secure the Engine Mount to the upper Engine Mount Bracket through nuts which need tightening to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Finally install the upper Engine Mount Bracket with Engine Mount to the engine while securing bolts to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Fit the Engine Mount frame bracket to the frame structure and use retaining bolts which need tightening up to 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.). Return the engine to the right side position before installing the left side mount frame bracket along with its retaining fasteners that should be tightened to 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.). Lower the engine until the mount studs point directly at the holes in the frame bracket before taking out the support pole and block. Secure Engine Mount nuts with 50 nm torque before reinstalling the shock module and replacing the front wheels along with reinstalling the front wheel and tire. Then lower the vehicle.
