2011-2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Engine Mount Replacement
Engine mounts can fail and wear out over time. The vibration and torque from the engine transfer to the mounts, and the bushings made of rubber tend to break down and fail after a considerable amount of engine use. This guide provides instructions on how to change the engine mount on a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander.

Procedure
- Place a jack with a small 2×4 piece of wood on top of it under the engine oil pan. Jack up enough to support the engine. Do not keep jacking up on the engine. The goal is to support the engine, not lift the vehicle. Jacking up on the oil pan can bend or even crack it if too much force is applied.
- Next, with a 13mm socket and ratchet, remove the three bolts holding the motor mount to the vehicle’s body.
- Then, with a 15mm deep socket, remove the three nuts attaching the mount to the transverse engine. These can easily be removed with an impact driver.
- After removing the bolts and nuts, the mount will now be able to be lifted out. Work the mount out of the vehicle, careful not to snag it on any wiring or air conditioning lines.
- Replace the mount with the new one. Start by tightening the three nuts. Then, insert the bolts and tighten them down. Always remember to start the threads by hand.
- Once the fasteners are all snug, the jack can be lowered and removed from under the engine.
- Lastly, torque the engine mount nuts and bolts to specification. Before torque, the engine’s weight must be back down on the mount. You are all done!
Specifications
- Engine mount bolts torque: 40-50 ft-lbs
- Engine mount nuts torque: 60-75 ft-lbs
How can I tell if the engine mount on my Mitsubishi Outlander is bad?
An easy test to see if the engine mount is failing is to keep one foot on the brake, accelerate with the vehicle in reverse gear, and watch the engine to see if it buckles a lot. Another sign of a failing engine is excessive clanking or banging from the engine bay or excessive vibrations felt through the vehicle’s body or steering wheel.
