Examination
1. If improved access is required, raise the front of the vehicle and install jack stands. If necessary, remove the bottom protective casing of the power unit.
2. Check for cracks, rubber degradation or separation from the metal parts of the support at any point; if such damage is evident, replace the support.
3. Check the reliability of all threaded fasteners of the supports - if necessary (if it is possible) use a torque wrench.
4. Using a large screwdriver or spatula, check the wear of the supports by prying them up like a lever. If necessary, ask the assistant to rock the power unit back and forth left and right, watching the supports. Even if there may be a gap in new components, what to expect from old ones. If excessive play is found in the bearings, check the tightness of the threaded connections and replace the worn components as described below.
