I replaced the motor and torque mounts on my '09 Nissan Versa yesterday in the following order: rear/lower torque mount (#5), main engine mount (#1), transmission mount (#8), and then the upper torque mount (#9) (numbers referenced by the page upload).
I was on a driveway with a slight incline, and I thought I had the engine secure in the middle and the side before I took out the bolts to remove the old main mount, but somehow it still shifted and lowered about an inch before I had to raise it back up. Anyone think the deflection would have strained the rear/lower torque mount which was installed first? I'm sort of tempted to swap it out with the old one which was actually in pretty good condition or just own up to it and buy another new one, since that would only take two minutes and not require the engine to be supported. Just wouldn't want this to domino against the other mounts and cause premature wear all around. Any insight would be appreciated.
