has anyone else had this problem? The rear bolts from the crossmember ( where the front & rear motor mounts are) are coming loose and the motor is jumping around. Is there anyway to fix this or do I need a whole new subframe assembly? That would suck!
Two questions:
QUESTION #1:
Are they actually coming loose? Falling out loose?
ANSWER #1:
If so, tighten them with a torque wrench to the proper specs from the FSM. That should solve your problem.
QUESTION #2:
Or is the crossmember somewhat loose, but the bolts are still tight to the correct specs?
ANSWER #2:
If you look closely, the two bolts up front and the two bolts in back have a rubber washer crushed in there. I will assume that rubber is bad and needs to be replaced. I have never replaced them, but did look at them when I replaced my motor mounts on my old '91 NX2000.
They could possibly be dry-rotted and cracking away.
