Motor mounts a DIY project??
Both mounts on my '03 are leaking. I have the car up on ramps and can get to the mounts no problem. I was told to use a floor jack with a solid piece of 2x4 to ever so slightly raise each side of the motor to remove the old mounts. Is this really a weekend mechanic job? I found the spot one either side to jack the motor(just behind the compressor on the DS and in front of the sway bar on the PS). The problem is this area seems to be the only possible removal spot for the old mounts to be removed. Anyone who has done this in their garage, please let me know where your jacking points were on the motor and where you removed the old mount/positioned the new mount.
Thanks,
Todd

While I was under there I notice the grease boot on the right torque strut was bad too, but I'll change that another day.

Change standard distance of travel.
Change minimum distance of travel.
Adjust end of forward range.
Adjust beginning of rearward range.
I just experimented with the settings to see what worked. I set the standard distance too far at first (90mm) and cut that back to 50mm tonight so all is good. Don't forget to go back to the convenience features in the instrument panel and turn this feature on again.
