🔧 Renegade - Engine Mount Replacement

On your Renegade, “engine mounts” can mean three different mounts (and the steps/torque specs are different for each). Once I know which mount(s) you’re replacing, I’ll give you a complete, bolt-by-bolt procedure with the correct torque specs.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate | Estimated Time: 1.0-4.0 hours (depends on which mount)

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• ⚠️ Never get under the vehicle supported only by a jack; use jack stands.
• ⚠️ When supporting the engine, lift gently—do not crush the oil pan.
• ⚠️ Keep hands clear when aligning the mount; the engine can shift suddenly.
• ⚠️ Let the exhaust cool before working near the rear/lower mount area.

📋 Before You Begin

• Park on level ground, put the transmission in 1st gear, and set the parking brake.
• Chock the rear wheels with wheel chocks.
• If you’ll be lifting the front, raise and support with a floor jack and jack stands.
• Supporting the engine: place a wood block on a floor jack under the oil pan area; this spreads load so you don’t dent the pan.

• Reply with one of these: Right upper engine mount, Left upper transmission mount, Lower torque strut mount, or All mounts.
• Also tell me: do you have a torque wrench (10–200 Nm range)? (Mount bolts must be torqued accurately.)

Step 2: I’ll provide the exact procedure + torque specs

• Once you answer Step 1, I’ll give you the complete, mount-specific steps (including any splash shield removal, engine support points, and all Torque to XX Nm (YY ft-lbs) specs).
