The engine mount (or silent block) is a rubber structure that dampens vibrations that the engine would transmit to the chassis if there were a rigid connection. Because it is made of rubber, it tends to deteriorate over time, especially if the vehicle operates on snowy roads during winter where salt is spread to melt the snow.

A very useful tip to preserve the lifespan of rubber mounts is to lubricate them regularly. In the case of the vehicle in question, the mount is located at the bottom and is secured with a central bolt: it is advisable, if possible, to lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift rather than on jack stands.

Once the central bolt is removed, slightly raising the engine with a hydraulic piston support will allow for the replacement to proceed.
