- A very in depth how to guide on replacing and aligning the upper and lower motor mounts in your PT Cruiser. This video covers all years and models of PT Cruisers using the 2.4 engine (turbo and NA are the same). I also touch on the center mount replacement procedure and give you lots of tips throughout to insure a successful install regardless of your level of experience.

Of all the videos I've watched regarding the motor mount your the only one who mentioned adjusting the distance of the top mount. It's the small details that will make or break a repair job. Well done.
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that.
Matt you’re the best. Much love from Australia. You’re helping me to not only fix my car myself but also cope with anxiety. Despite being pretty handy, I always want to see where I’m going and your videos give me just that. You’re also helping me fix things that lazy Australian “mechanics” don’t wanna touch just because it’s a PT Cruiser. Thank you!
So happy to hear this, thanks for the feedback.
Matt, you make the most excellent videos! You have given me the confidence to take on a project car! My neighbor passed three years ago. He bought his 2002 Limited PT Cruiser cash and its been garaged its entire life. Towards the end of his life he had 85,000 on the car and only put maybe 300 miles on it the last five years he lived. His sweet wife sold it to me for 1400. After being immobile for 8 years it needed a lot of attention, including the motor mounts. He had not kept up on the maintenance of a car with that many miles, so I was fearful. But step by step because of your excellent teaching skills this 2002 Limited not only has new motor mounts but timing belt, cam and crankshaft seals, water pump, radiator, radiator fan, changed the tranny fluid and filter, temp sensor, new tires etc. About 1,400. in parts and fluids. THANK YOU, you are so sweet and incredibly patient! By the way this car has a tranny cooler!
Thank you for your feedback! What a great story and so nice to hear that! Yes it’s my understanding that a lot of the early ones without transmission coolers had them added under warranty.
@@CarswithNash WOW, you are so kind to take the time to reply. I'm out here in California with all the crazies. The far left wing liberalism is everywhere. Makes me want to leave the state. The lack of integrity is rampant, even my workplace (Palomar College) is more concerned about "feelings" than doing a good job. I have always been keen on honesty and I'm appalled the way many mechanics treat people. People look at me and think they're gonna con me! I am an old lady so I am very grateful for your videos, you are very detail orientated. When I go to buy parts I know enough, thanks to you, that folks think twice about trying to sell me something I don't need. I agree that these cars have a bad rap. The cars just need attention due to their age and the era was different than cars today. Like myself. I think some people just don't know their way around the car. My other neighbor is a Master Toyota mechanic and the first thing he did was complain about it. Why complain about the miles per gallon? Its over 3,000lbs its a heavy car but THAT is exactly why I like it. The Scion xb of the same era is like a tin can. My Master Mechanic says the plugs gapped at 50 instead of 43 shouldn't make it run rough, what do you think? If I change the plugs (they were changed only 300 miles ago) I want to take the valve cover off and change all the gaskets. I have a tiny steady oil leak that has slowly dripped onto the mount arm of the new lower engine mount at the front . Its obviously been around a long time because the engine is filthy. Its taking all LOT of time to clean. Do you think the UV light oil dye would help me find the leak? Do you have a gasket preference? By the way I HATE the dealerships. I bought a part from them and then later went back to take the part back (lower power steering high pressure line). Out of curiosity I asked a Service tech to give me a quote on replacing the part. (It was replaced under warranty in 2004) The same part in the quote was DOUBLE the price and their entire quote was $1,200.! My deceased husband worked at Chrysler years ago and he said their Service and sales department are crooks.
I have a 2001 PT Cruiser sitting at our farm it has been sitting for 5 years and the other day I went there it started right up it does need new intake rings but I also notice that the motor mounts were shot and they need to be changed so this helped me a lot thank you.
Glad to hear! Sounds like that one is eager to be back on the road, pretty impressive it starting up after 5 years like that!
Thanks, Matt. I have a 2005 Cruiser. I don't do the work, but you have helped me in understanding things when my mechanic recommends repairs. I watched a couple other videos regarding these mounts and you are the only one that also showed the upper mount. Thanks for doing these videos.
That’s great to hear I really appreciate the feedback. More videos are coming.👌
I need to check the motor mounts on my Tacoma. Watching videos like this give me more confidence to start working on my own vehicles whether the videos relate to what I need to do or not. I love watching and learning regardless.
That’s great to hear, thanks for watching!
Thank you Sir , We feel much better knowing our kids are going to school safely with No vibration on their PT Cruiser thanks to your video I tackled the motor mount replacement myself without any issues. God bless you and keep up the great work . 😊 Thanks again. 👍
That’s so nice to hear, thanks for the feedback!
I want to say thank you for doing all these videos for us! Your talented and make it so easy to follow along with the way you show us the errors you could make by doing things wrong and more than one view at times as well. Hope that made sense. Lol When it comes to repairs and maintenance on PT's my hubby asks if you have a video and prefers yours.
That is so great to hear! I am still working on doing more PT videos and still some in edit.
Great video. I had to grind the area to avoid scraping the oil pan. I didn't see it when I first installed it. After I installed it I came across your video. I also cut the wire tie and aligned the engine that way. Thank you!
Great to hear. Thank you for the feedback.
Your videos are so informative. I am glad you take the time to explain the steps. Thank you.
Thanks, I really appreciate hearing that! I really like to promote the idea of car owners maintaining their own cars, so I try to make my videos to help the beginner mechanic.
thanks matt for this video!!! my 2005 pt cruiser i bought a month ago I've already replaced the downstream oxygen sensor my self. along with a new battery. i had a my local family owned and operated shop replaced my alternator, waterpump and timingbelt. next is to replace my motor mounts. ill be doing the motor mounts my self!! I appreciate all your videos. I've gotten a lot done to it since I've bought. i restored my headlights on my own. and I've kept up with a good wash and wax. and shiny armoralled vacuumed weekly interior. my 2005 pt cruiser almost looks like I just drove it off the lot brandnew which is the goal. next too is gonna get my windows tinted. and get matching taillight covers. my passenger taillight cover is from a 2006-2010 pt cause the turn signal area is white instead of orange. i prefer the orange so cant wait to get matching set. my dream car is getting better by the day.
Thanks. Your step by step was incredibly helpful. I replaced upper and lower mounts today with my cousins help and you made it look easy. I was encouraged to do it myself and saved a lot of money.
Thank you for your feedback. I love hearing things like this!(-:
Great help my friend 😊👍Thank You 🥂.
Very good video man. Thank you.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.(-:
@@CarswithNash anytime Matt, I like how simple and honest you are. I wish more people would talk as honest as you. Keep it up and never listen to negative comments. 👍
I watched this video just so I can learn how to do the one mount you didn’t record
Because that mount typically lasts the lifetime of the car, the only time I've ever had to change one was when the head of the mounting bolt seized up inside the mount and twisted the mount in half when I unbolt it, otherwise I have never seen one break apart under normal use. Anyways you would need to remove the access plug inside the wheel well and then there is a T55 bolt under that that goes through the center of the mount, then you need to get the engine jacked up really high to clear the mount so you can get the 4 13 mm bolts out and pull it out of the frame rail.
Thanks for the vids appreciate the help.
Thanks for commenting, I appreciate the feedback.(-:
Very interesting information
Yes the procedure is a little more complexed than it appears at first glance. Still a pretty easy little DIY job. Thanks for watching!
hey Matt, tried doing this with an 06 Touring after installing new top and bottom mounts. Though when I go to jack up on the engine in that same location the jack is completely trying to lift the front end of the Cruiser. So I tried over by the tranny and still got the same result. Loosened both mount bolts as I should. Only way I could get the bottom mount to move was prying it though it didn't resolve the vibration by only doing so. Anything I could be missing? Thanks!
I'm wondering if maybe you got some faulty mounts. Did it look like the joints were in the center of the rubber bushing on the ends? You definitely shouldn't have to put enough force to lift the car. My only other thought is that perhaps your car has had a crash in the past and something is bent a little? If the center mount is worn out it could possibly put everything way out of whack, but they typically don't wear out and the original ones are oil filled I believe so it should leak out oil if it was burst. If you figure it out please let me know, I'm genuinely puzzled on this one.
Yeah, its odd to do that. It is like I am jacking the car up on its side to pull a wheel. No accidents that I am aware of and the mounts seemed fine. From what I know the engine should tilt back a bit whilst jacking it up a little. Going to go over it this weekend and see what I can figure out and let you know as well. Thanks for getting back with me! @@CarswithNash
Yeah, but how do u get the middle one out, remove engine?
No, you just have to jack it up really high, the same as when you change the timing belt. One day I do plan on making a timing belt video and then I will show it there. Pretty rare that you need to change that so I just inspect it whenever I change the timing belt and decide if I'm going to replace or run it then.
I was wondering does the top motor mount always measure the 4 13/16 distance on the GT turbo model that you used the zip tie? Mine is almost 5 inches. Should i leave alone or try to adjust it?
Hey Matt if my steering wheel is vibrating at speeds around 60-65 could worn out engine mounts be the problem?
Probably not actually. Tire balance would be my first thought and then things like CV axles.
I need my upper and lower motor mounts replaced the transmission shop i went to says thats the reason why it is sending false codes from my transmission control unit i just want to know is this true????
Definitely not true. I would find a different transmission shop.
wow, I did none of that when i changed my water pump & timing belt and 3 months later just changed the lower mount and i don't have any vibration
Hi Matt I have a 05 P t cruiser with problems I am just north of Edmonton Can you give mea way to contact you? I really need help! Thanks Matt Diann
About the best I can do right now is if you describe your problem in the comments here I can do my best to help. I have a serious lack of time to do anything beyond that, sorry.
@@CarswithNash I have purchased all the engine mounts Just need to put them in There is a lot Of rattling in the front of my car It definitely needs engine mounts I am 67 and need someone who is reasonable in price to fix them Do you know of anyone in the Edmonton area or Athabasca area that would be qualified to fix them? If you would I would bring it down to you ???.
👍👍🏁thank you 👍👍great vidio 🥂
Glad you found it helpful.
My lower mount won't go in
Where did you buy the new lower mount at?
Rockauto
@@CarswithNash Perfect! I saw that it looks just like oem, but haven’t ordered it it yet, now I will knowing that it looks like a great piece! Mine is ripped completely, but it’s some cheap after market one. I will buy this new lower and the rest are fine, and then fill them with some Reoflex 60A durometer red polyurethane to make them solid but not to harsh. I didn’t know that the early style 4th mounts were oil filled!? Was like like pre 03?
@@JoshTosh92 Westar brand, yes they seem to be holding up good, this was filmed a long time ago actually. That was actually on a Neon that I had one burst because the center bolt was seized into it and spun the rubber, it sprayed oil everywhere! But the Neon use the exact same mounts, in fact I originally ordered all those mounts for my Neon originally.
Baby nersery rynes
you didn't change the main mount
