For 1990-2009 cars

### Inspection Procedure

1. Pull up and down on the transaxle case while observing the front lower transaxle mount.
2. Replace the mount if the rubber has separated from the metal case.
3. If there is movement between the metal plate of the mount and its attaching point, tighten the mount bolts.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 60 N·m (44 lb ft).
