On cars with dealer installed air conditioning:

If the right side engine mount is collapsed, replace it with the type of mount used on cars with factory installed air-conditioning.[/ezcol_1half_end]

Adjust engine mounts

[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]Loosen the attachment bolts for the left and right engine mounts.

Loosen the body brackets for the front and rear engine mounts.

Move the engine/transmission assembly from side to side so that the rear engine mount is straight.  Start the engine and let it idle.

Move the engine/transmission assembly frontwards and backwards until;

The least amount of engine vibration is felt in the front bumper.

Hold the engine/transmission assembly at this point while a second mechanic tightens the engine mounts.[/ezcol_1half_end]
