Examination
1. If improved access is needed, raise the front of the vehicle and install jack stands. If necessary, remove the lower protective casing of the power unit.
2. Check that there are no cracks, rubber decomposition or delamination from the metal parts of the support at any point, if there is such damage, replace the support.
3. Check the reliability of all threaded fasteners of the supports - if necessary, 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 there is excessive play in the bearings, check the tightness of the threaded connections, replace worn components as described below.
