Replacement of the motor mount of the Mazda CX 7 (and also CX5 and CX9)

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Engine mount

How to replace the engine mount of a Mazda CX7 (but also CX5 with a 3.6 engine and CX9), which is a crucial component for keeping the engine in place, absorbing vibrations, and preventing them from being transmitted to the cabin. When working with this component, safety is the absolute priority, as it involves heavy components. We will need the new engine mount. We can find it on auto-doc. It with the EAN code 4056111077246 at a price of 44.49 + 9.95 euros for delivery. We raise the car in the front, and place it on two jack stands, then position a hydraulic jack under the oil pan with a wooden base: the goal is not to lift, but to support. We remove the old engine mount, install the new one aligning all the holes, insert and hand tighten all the bolts before tightening them with a torque wrench, apply a drop of blue Loctite on the nuts to prevent loosening, and mark the tightened nuts with a marker, so we can check in the future if they have moved. We remove the jack, the cover, the stands, and lower the car.
