[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 454831, member: 24042"] Of course you can. Replacing motor mounts is pretty much the same on any vehicle. Attach the engine hoist. If you do not own one, most chain auto parts stores have loaners. Find one that does and order the motor mounts through them. Unbolt the old motor mounts. Bolt in the new ones. Admittedly, I have skipped over the cussing that will likely occur while you try to get things aligned, but it's not too difficult. Sometimes you can do it all from the top. Sometimes you need to do some from the bottom. Good news is that our Jeeps usually have plenty of room to get under them. I always prefer to have a second pair of hands to help out with the jiggling and wiggling needed to get things aligned. That's a common issue with phone estimates. Partly because they can't see the vehicle. How do they know you don't also need the transmission mount replaced? Failure of any one of the three mounts puts added stress on the other two. So it's not at all uncommon for them to fail together, or close together. Personally, I don't replace one tire. Or one tie rod end. Or one motor mount. But that's me. YMMV. Void where prohibited. Not valid with any other opinions. Ask your Dr. if mount replacement is right for you. Do not take if you are allergic to grease. [/QUOTE]
