VAZ 2108 engine mounts diagram

The left engine mount on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 vehicles is less loaded and fails less often.
But, like any spare part, it has its own resource. The elastic rubber element becomes cracked over time, after which it breaks away from the metal frame of the “cushion.” At the same time, the engine begins to fall on its side. Knocks and vibrations appear when starting from a stop or driving over uneven surfaces.

In addition, the support will have to be dismantled when carrying out repairs that involve removing the engine.

Checking the left engine mount

In addition to the signs of malfunction listed above, you need to visually verify the presence of cracks, delamination and tears in the rubber support element. Then rock the engine up and down with your hands and listen to the sounds made by the support. Squeaks, metallic knocking, and engine sagging when rocking are unacceptable. If a malfunction is determined, we replace the “pillow” with a new one.

Necessary tools, accessories and spare parts

— Socket wrenches or sockets on “17”, two pieces

Preparatory work

The easiest way to replace the engine mount is in a “pit” or on a lift, but it is also possible on level ground.

— Remove the left front wheel

— Remove the engine compartment protection

— Remove the left engine mudguard

— Jack up the engine under the gearbox housing

The procedure for replacing the left support (“pillow”) of the engine of a VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099

The left support (“pillow”) of the engine is attached with three nuts to the gearbox and one bolt to the bracket on the body. To remove it you need to unscrew them all.

Unscrew the bolt and three nuts securing the engine support (mount) 21083

— Unscrew the bolt securing the support to the bracket on the body

To do this, we use two spanners set to “17”.

— Unscrew the three nuts securing the support to the gearbox

We use the head at “17”.

— Remove the support (“pillow”)

To install a new support, you will need to perform all operations in reverse order. The tightening torque of the nut of the bolt securing the left support to the car body is 42-51 N.m, the nuts securing the support to the gearbox is 32-51 N.m.

Notes and additions

If a malfunction is detected in the left engine mount of the car, the remaining two should be checked. So often one support that fails leads to similar problems with others.

If the engine is being removed, you can only unscrew the support bolt.

Engine mounts on VAZ 2109 cars are responsible for reducing and eliminating vibrations emanating from engine operation and transmitted to the car body.

Every motorist should be able to replace them with his own hands. There is nothing complicated in working with supports, but competent repairs can significantly extend the life of the car and get rid of quickly annoying vibrations and noise.

Element appearance

Features of the pillows used

There are several nuances that you should know about the supports in general, as well as about the engine mounts used on the VAZ 2109 model.

When developing the design of supports that serve to reduce engine vibrations, manufacturers take into account the loads absorbed by the supports;
These elements are under constant influence of loads, the magnitude of which varies;
One constant load is the weight of the engine. But when the car starts, another load arises;
When the car moves in reverse, the supports take on negative forces;
When sharply accelerating or braking, when a wheel hits a pothole, or when hitting an obstacle, these same negative forces arise. The front, rear and side engine mounts are responsible for extinguishing them;
To make cushions for the VAZ 2109, special natural rubber, high-grade SKI-3 rubber is used. In addition to rubber components, the supports include steel elements and heavy-duty adhesive;
The VAZ 2109 engine mounts are capable of withstanding temperature loads in the range from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius.

In order for the pillows to meet all the requirements for them, experts recommend choosing products from the manufacturer or companies that were recommended by the VAZ 2109 manufacturer.

Factors affecting the resource

The price of VAZ-2109 engine mounts is about 500 rubles. Most experts recommend choosing only products that are recommended by the car manufacturer. But there are several factors that affect the resource of these elements:

Natural production. All elements, including pillows, have a maximum service life. And hardly anyone can surpass him. They are not able to develop a full resource for reasons that will be discussed below.
VAZ-2109 cars experience very high mechanical loads when driving on uneven roads, colliding with curbs, etc. And this significantly reduces the service life of the engine mounts.

What influences the replacement

There are two main factors that force motorists to replace airbags.

Natural wear and tear. Each pillow has its own service life, exceeding which is very rare. Often they don’t work it out for the second reason.
Mechanical impacts leading to breakdowns. These are our roads, potholes, accidents, collisions with manholes, etc.

When replacement is required

There are several factors you should know about replacing engine components.

Situation

Peculiarities

If you feel vibration in the body, you should definitely check the condition of the supports. This effect can be caused by various reasons, but pillows are one of the main

Replacing the timing belt

When replacing a belt, removing its cover can be very difficult, since the engine is almost tightly pressed to the right mudguard of the front wheel. You have to remove the pillow in order to fully carry out repairs.

The engine sags, loads the CV joints

Due to the impact of the engine weight on CV joints, their geometry changes, which leads to a significant reduction in the service life of the elements. The resource is reduced, it is necessary to carry out replacements ahead of schedule

There is a knocking noise in the backstage area

It may be barely noticeable. But its presence indicates that the engine has sagged. Consequently, the supports do not work properly and need to be replaced

If you do not replace the supports in a timely manner, this will lead to more serious consequences and expensive repair of the breakdown. Therefore, it is better to replace the pillows when primary signs of wear are detected. To do this, we additionally recommend periodic inspection of the unit.

When to replace

Before carrying out repairs, you need to completely inspect all motor mounts and identify those that need replacement. They cannot be repaired - these are elements that cannot be restored. And if they are broken, then only installing new ones will help. Replacement of VAZ-2109 engine mounts is carried out in the following cases:

In the presence of strong body vibrations. If you feel vibration, you need to diagnose the supports. This behavior of the car can be caused by various reasons. But the failure of the pillows is the main one.
In the case when the timing belt is being replaced and it is not possible to remove the cover that protects the compartment, it is necessary to completely dismantle the cushion in order to slightly lift and move the engine to the side.
If the mass of the motor has a strong effect on the CV joints, and their geometry changes significantly, this leads to the fact that the life of the cushions is reduced.
Sometimes an almost imperceptible knock appears near the scenes. This is the first sign that the engine has sunk. In other words, the engine mounts are not working correctly.

If the pillows are not replaced, this will result in more serious consequences and expensive repairs. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the pillows as soon as the first signs of their breakdown are discovered. It is impossible to delay repairs, as this will lead to destruction of body elements, damage to the engine and deterioration in the comfort of the driver and all passengers.

Replacement

Now we move on to replacing elements. Doing it yourself or contacting a car service is purely your personal decision.

For the VAZ 2109, the use of three supports is provided:

Front;
Rear;
Left side.

The replacement of each of them should be discussed separately, since the processes differ from each other.

Replacing the rear cushion

Find a suitable place to carry out repairs. You will need a pit or overpass.
Place the car there, secure it with stops, and put the car on the handbrake.
Disconnect the negative terminal from the car battery.
Using a 17mm spanner, unscrew the nut that holds the cushion to the body.
Using a 17 socket, remove the mounting nuts of the support bracket to the gearbox. There are 3 of them in total.
Remove all the bolts and remove the old engine mount.
Install a new motor element and reassemble the unit.

Self-replacement

Before replacing the pillows, it is necessary to diagnose their condition. The condition of any silent blocks is checked with a mount: with its help you need to influence the support, simulating the movements of the engine during operation. If:

rubber ruptures are visible,
the bushing of the silent block touches the joints,
the motor moves easily when pressed and hits the protection,
the support bracket is broken,

the part needs to be replaced. Even if the signs of wear are not so noticeable (for example, the rubber is cracked but not torn), it is better to replace them as a set. Silent blocks lose their elasticity over time and begin to perform their functions poorly.

There are regular and reinforced supports for the VAZ 2114 on sale. The second type uses a harder rubber compound, but they are more durable only in quiet driving mode. Fans of sharp starts and braking will have to change any of them every 15-20 thousand; for other drivers they can last 50 thousand kilometers. This is the answer to the question of how long the supports last.

Front engine support VAZ 2114

On a VAZ 2114, the supports can be replaced independently, without contacting a car service center. It is more convenient to use a pit or overpass, but you can do without them. To do this, the car is jacked up and placed on supports (bricks or tree stumps). If crankcase protection is installed, it must be removed.

Replacing the front support. You need to jack up the oil pan. First, use a 17mm head to unscrew the 4 bolts securing the bracket to the crankcase, then the silent block bolt. To remove the bolt, you need to use a jack to get it into a position where the engine will not put all its weight on it.

When installing a spare part, it is important to lubricate the silent block bolt well: not only the threaded part, but also the body. It is in contact with the metal sleeve, so it may stick

This is interesting: We independently solve the problem with floating speed

Side engine support VAZ 2114

Replacing the right support is similar, with the difference that it is better to jack the gearbox housing rather than the engine. Another option is to install a jack in the area of the oil filter housing. It is attached to the crankcase with three bolts. Another trick is that the right pillow needs to be changed by two people. Without a side stop, the motor moves up, not down. The jack will not help here, so an assistant must press on it so that the silent block bolt can be secured.

Replacement of the rear support is the most difficult task if done without a pit or lift, requiring some skill in performing auto mechanic work and perseverance. It is located at the connection between the engine and gearbox, so you will have to work in a confined space. In addition, when unscrewing the bolts from the body, the key may rest against the gearbox housing.

Some features of engine mounts on a VAZ 2109 car

When developing cushion designs to reduce vibrations of the power unit, manufacturers are guided by the magnitude of the loads that the supports perceive. These devices constantly perceive loads that change periodically. One operates when the car is stationary - the weight of the unit; at start - the other. When the car moves backwards, the airbags absorb negative forces. Sudden acceleration, unexpected braking, encountering an obstacle or hitting a pothole cause negative forces to occur. The installed rear, front and side supports should extinguish them. For the manufacture of elements, natural rubber, high-grade rubber of the SKI-3 brand, high-quality steel and special glue are used. Engine mounts can withstand from (-45) to (+70) degrees Celsius. This indicates that for the VAZ 2109, the side left and right, front and rear engine mounts should be used only those manufactured by the manufacturer. In this case, they will meet all the requirements of manufacturing technology and are supplied to specialized stores. Car owners should purchase products from reliable suppliers who have proven themselves and have good reviews from customers.

rear pillars of the VAZ2109 is inevitable for you. But the devil is not as terrible as he is painted. First, let's look at what the rear pillar actually consists of. Replacing engine mounts on a VAZ 2109 is necessary when extraneous noise and vibrations appear. With their help, the engine noise is reduced, since the amount of vibration transmitted to the body is reduced several times. Repairing an old nine at a service center is too expensive. And the design of the machine is so simple that it allows you to carry out minor repairs and maintenance yourself, without resorting to the services of expensive craftsmen.

How to replace the side engine mounts of a VAZ 2109

In a VAZ 2109 car, the engine is mounted on three supports: the right one, which is mounted on the engine bracket, the left and rear ones, which are fixed on the gearbox housing brackets. The instructions call for replacing the side airbag with the mudguard removed. To work you will need:

New side cushion.

Characteristic

What is this item? An engine mount is a gasket between body elements and the power unit. This is installed on all cars without exception. On Soviet Zhiguli cars, the cushion was a durable piece of rubber with fasteners on both sides. On more modern “nines” and “eights” (and subsequently all VAZs with a front-wheel drive layout) full-fledged rubber-metal supports were installed.

So, the power unit was mounted on four pillows. Two of them are on the gearbox, and the rest are on the engine. To avoid unnecessary loads, the box and motor are rigidly fixed. Any distortion leads to a change in the geometry of the input shaft. As a result, all the vibration is strongly transmitted to the gearbox lever and the transmission itself.

Where are the pillows? This element is installed on the engine from several sides:

Front cushion. Attached to the front beam of the power unit.
Back cushion. Installed to the front subframe. Located in the bottom area.
Right support. It is located on top, near the front side member of the body.

Features of engine mounts for a VAZ 2109 car

Sudden acceleration, unexpected braking, encountering an obstacle or hitting a pothole cause negative forces to occur. They must be extinguished by the installed rear, front and side supports. To manufacture the elements, natural rubber, high-grade rubber of the SKI-3 brand, high-quality steel and special glue are used. Engine mounts can withstand from (-45) to (+70) degrees Celsius.

What you need to know about engine mounts

The strength of the pillows must be sufficient, since they are subject to loads of various magnitudes and directions. The mass of the engine always acts on the body, regardless of whether the car is moving or standing still. During movement forward or backward, loads arise that are maximum in magnitude at the initial moment of time.

When cornering, the body experiences a centrifugal type of load, especially after leveling the body, when the engine itself tends to continue moving in a circle. And all these forces must be experienced by the car body and pillows. It is necessary to carry out regular inspection for defects. And if the VAZ 2109 engine mounts have obvious damage (cracks, deformations), it is necessary to replace them.

What influences the replacement

There are two main factors that force motorists to replace airbags.

Natural wear and tear. Each pillow has its own service life, exceeding which is very rare. Often they don’t work it out for the second reason.
Mechanical impacts leading to breakdowns. These are our roads, potholes, accidents, collisions with manholes, etc.

There is a knocking noise in the backstage area	It may be barely noticeable. But its presence indicates that the engine has sagged. Consequently, the supports do not work properly and need to be replaced

When do you need to change engine mounts on a VAZ 2109?

— Body vibrations. — Knocking that occurs when the car starts or brakes, difficult gear shifting or unexpected acceleration. — Replacing the timing belt is accompanied by great difficulties. This is due to the fact that a sagging engine “approaches” the right mudguard almost closely, and it may interfere with removing the timing belt cover, and servicing the engine will be difficult. - Strong sagging of the unit increases the load on the CV joints. The geometry of the work may change on them, which will reduce the service life of the structures. - The appearance of a barely perceptible knock in the backstage area. This occurs due to engine sagging. - In this case, the gearbox slider may begin to touch the outer surface of the anti-roll bar. - In the case when the replacement of the engine mount on a VAZ 2109 is not carried out in a timely manner, the cost of further repairs will increase significantly.

Front engine support (cushion) 21083

Place and features of installation of the front engine mount

The cushion bracket is attached to the lower front part of the cylinder block of the 21083 engine with four 17mm wrench bolts. The silent block of the pillow is fastened with a bolt and a nut set to “17” to the bracket on the frame of the body radiator (“TV”).

Front engine mount device

The front engine mount 21083 consists of a housing with a built-in rubber-metal silent block (support).

Front engine mount malfunctions

At a mileage of more than 200,000 km, the rubber-metal silent block of the support may “get tired”. This will be noticeable by the cracking of its rubber element, the engine sagging to the right side (the engine is not level), and the appearance of knocking noises from the suspension when starting from a standstill or changing gears.

To replace the front engine mount, it is necessary to remove the engine compartment protection sheet, engine mudguards and jack up the engine under the sump.

After this, use two “17” keys to unscrew the bolt securing the cushion silent block to the bracket on the body, and using a head or a “17” spanner wrench, unscrew the four bolts securing the support to the cylinder block.

Applicability on VAZ cars

On VAZ 21083, 21093, 21099 cars, the front engine support (mount) 2108-1001015-10 is used. The rubber-metal silent block has the number 2108-1001020-10.

Notes and additions

On engines 2108, 21081, the front support has a similar device, purpose and replacement procedure.

How to change engine mounts yourself

If the vibrations of the engine, even a new, serviceable one, were transmitted into the car interior, the driver would probably be very unpleasant. Fortunately, special rubber linings at the junction of the piston unit with the car body save you from this.

But not only do they protect the people in the car from vibrations; the underlay structures save the piston unit itself from the effects of uneven road surfaces. These elements themselves consist of rubber stands, metal parts and threaded fasteners. They break due to natural factors, such as:

high humidity, oil traces, keeping the power unit in dirt;
natural wear and tear that occurs after approximately 80 - 100 thousand kilometers;
faulty “triple” piston unit with increased vibrations.

Remove the generator belt.
Having loosened the threaded connections, move the generator away.
Having installed the jack under the crankcase pan, and at the same time laying a plank between the jack and the pan, we slightly raise the power plant to relieve the load on the silent blocks supporting the engine.
We inspect the appearance of the engine support structures and feel them for final diagnosis. Are there any delaminations in the rubber? Is the rubber hard? Is it easy to separate from the backing? Is the play of the entire element noticeable? If everything is normal, only play is observed, just tighten the nuts, and you may be able to do without reinstalling the part. If we can’t do without reinstalling, we move on.
Unscrew the nut of the threaded connection of the defective element.
We unscrew the two bolts securing it to the metal holder.
We take out the entire structure complete with the metal part, and reinstall the rubber part. Then we attach the unit back to its normal place. We carry out complete assembly on the way back.

This is how the right engine mount is replaced. Let's look at updating the underlay structure at the back of the engine using another VAZ brand as an example.

Replacing pillows on a VAZ 2114 resembles the process on a “ten”. In any case, the tools used are similar:

This is how it is done.

A jack with a plank is installed under the gearbox.
Slightly lift this part of the piston unit.
Unscrew the nut of the defective part.
After unscrewing the nuts connecting to the bracket, the unit is taken out, then the rubber part is reinstalled in the metal holder. In this case, the latter can be clamped in a vice if you have a vice at hand.

It turns out that, in general terms, work is carried out in a similar way on all motor stands. Replacing the rear engine mount on a VAZ 2109 occurs in exactly the same way. The change at Priora is accompanied by the removal of the standard engine mudguard. Otherwise, the operation is the same as replacing engine mounts on a VAZ 2110.

What to do with foreign car engines

Now let’s determine how to replace a defective airbag in a Ford Focus 2. In this car, the entire support assembly is non-separable. To work you will need:

When reinstalling the right part, the steps are as follows.

We remove and move the expansion tank to the side without pulling off the hoses.
We lift the power unit, being, for example, in a garage with a winch.
Unscrew the two nuts securing it to the bracket.
We unscrew the two threaded connections attaching to the body side member.
We are reinstalling the node.
Let's put everything back together.

Standard engine mount - article number and price

On Lada Priora with 16 valve engines, four types of airbags are installed:

The top support is also a guitar;
Bottom.
Right (front);
Left(back);

By the way, engine mounts for Lada Priora are available in several versions. New sample parts have the best performance.

Some car enthusiasts additionally install another cushion attached to the gearbox. The VAZ-2110 with an 8-valve engine was standardly equipped with this element.

Right

The right (upper) front engine mount on the Priora is attached via a bracket to the engine, it is used for:

Transferring the weight of the power unit to the body;
Limitations on longitudinal movements of the motor.

Part number – 2110-1001240. In retail stores it costs 300-600 rubles. On sale you can find one pillow (only a rubber part) or assembled with metal stops.

Left

The left one, when viewed in the direction of travel, is the car engine mount, installed between the gearbox and the body, and performs the same functions as the right one. Another name is posterior (lower).

The rubber part of the cushion is identical to that used on the right, catalog number: 2110-1001240. But the fastening of the front and rear parts of the Lada Priora power unit is different, so the spare parts supplied assembled with limiters come as two different parts.

Upper

The upper support of the Priora power unit prevents the lateral movement of the motor. This part is a rod, along the edges of which there are large-diameter holes; rubber cushions are installed in them to dampen vibrations. Because of its shape, the top rod was popularly nicknamed “guitar.” In some repair manuals the part is called a rod.

The upper “guitar” is available in several modifications. A special aluminum frame and improved damping pads used on new parts increase the service life of the unit.

Replacing the upper support (rod) of the Lada Priora engine is easier and therefore faster than replacing other mountings of the power unit of this car.

Lower

The lower engine mount, also known as the right rod, in the Lada Priora is the same as the upper one, these are two identical parts. Therefore, everything that is said about the upper “guitar” is true for her. Sometimes the lower engine mount is called the rear engine mount, which in the Lada Priora spare parts catalog is designated as the left engine mount.

Additional support is not provided for the 16-valve Lada Priora engine. But Prior owners often install it themselves. This does not require any modifications; the design of the gearbox housing and body of the Priora is similar to the VAZ-2110.

Its installation makes the engine mount more rigid, jerking when driving in low gears, and “nodding” of the power unit during sudden accelerations and stops stop. But the vibration transmitted to the body increases.

The rear gearbox rod is designated in the catalog number 2110-1001280 and is supplied assembled with a mount. Price – 500–800 rub.

Rules for replacing VAZ 2109 engine mounts

To work you will need:

- New side cushion. - Set of socket heads. - Hoist or jack. - Spanners. - Wrench. - Ratchet. - Rust remover, if necessary.

Work order:

Tip: Disassembling the unit should begin by removing rust from all fastening units, which will help disassemble these units. You need to remove the mudguard. Use a 17 mm spanner to unscrew the nut that secures the support to the body. Tip: When unscrewing the bolt, it must be kept from turning in the same way with a wrench. The bolt is pulled out. The three nuts securing the support bracket on the gearbox are unscrewed with a “17” head, as shown in the photo. The support is removed. After replacing the cushion on a VAZ 2109, the assembly must be performed in the reverse order. How to correctly replace the engine mounting VAZ 2109 can be seen on video.

Additional engine support

VASA March 24, 2008
Hello everyone! I want to share my experience of installing an additional engine mount in order to warn everyone against a bad result. I have a 15. The engine, of course, is a regular 8-valve engine. The car is two and a half years old. Mileage 44,000. I switched to it after 20 years of classics. (It should be noted that my cars were always in excellent condition) And naturally, I immediately didn’t like the fact that when I started, the gearshift knob ran away from me. So I decided to install an additional engine support.

The thing is generally useful. The machine acquired solidity and smartness. The handle doesn't twitch. (by the way, I also redid the rocker. I wrote about this earlier in the topic “Song of the gearshift lever” https://lada-forum.ru. opic=2066&st=40 drawing on page 3)

BUT ! This is what happened. Bracket for support, on the engine, mounted on the studs of the manifolds (suction and exhaust of the 1st cylinder)

So these studs, or rather the threads in the head of the block, are not designed for such a load. I don’t know, maybe I’m just unlucky, but the aluminum alloy from which the heads of modern domestic cars are cast is just some kind of crap! With a regular wrench, the thread breaks off in one go.

So here it is. About six months ago, I was doing the next maintenance and saw that the top pin had been torn off. Well, thank God the hole is deep (43 mm) and the threaded part of the standard stud is 25 mm. I took the longest hairpin, twisted it deeper and calmed down.

And about a month ago, the gasket under the manifold blew. I took it apart and AFIGEL! This is the first time I've seen this.

I don’t know why, but at the exhaust port of the 1st cyl. The gasket has moved almost 12mm. It burned out and tore between the exhaust and suction ports.

I assume that it shifted and broke when the support pulled out the pin. Carbon monoxide began to enter the injector receiver... Hence the loss of power... (Which I also wrote about earlier.)

I had to cut a 10mm thread in the head, and made a 10mm/8mm adapter pin.

The bottom pin was simply replaced with a long one.

I RECOMMEND ! To everyone who will install such a support. IMMEDIATELY change the studs to LONGER ones.

I repeat! The standard stud has a 25mm thread. ! And the metal is very soft! And the load is very heavy.

Replacement

Now we move on to replacing elements. Doing it yourself or contacting a car service is purely your personal decision.

For the VAZ 2109, the use of three supports is provided:

Front;
Rear;
Left side.

The replacement of each of them should be discussed separately, since the processes differ from each other.

Replacing the rear cushion

Find a suitable place to carry out repairs. You will need a pit or overpass.
Place the car there, secure it with stops, and put the car on the handbrake.
Disconnect the negative terminal from the car battery.
Using a 17mm spanner, unscrew the nut that holds the cushion to the body.
Using a 17 socket, remove the mounting nuts of the support bracket to the gearbox. There are 3 of them in total.
Remove all the bolts and remove the old engine mount.
Install a new motor element and reassemble the unit.

Auto repair school – DIY car repair

This article will describe the process of replacing the rear engine mount on a VAZ-2109 car. On VAZ 2108, 2109, 2109 and VAZ 2113-2115 cars, replacing the rear airbag is similar. But first, I will list the reasons why you should think about replacing the pillows or engine mount. Wear, breakage and destruction of the rubber or metal component of any engine mount leads to vibration and itching while driving, and shocks when starting and stopping the car

Therefore, if the above symptoms appear in your car, then pay attention to the condition of the airbags or, as they are also called, engine mounts. If large cracks, breaks or peelings of the rubber part of the cushion are detected (photo 1), replace the part

If the metal part of the pillow bursts or breaks, replace the part as soon as possible. I think there will be problems in this part. But questions regarding work related to replacement may arise! Right? Therefore, we continue to read further and at the end of this material the answers to the questions will be found)))

Spare parts. The rear engine mount for VAZ 2108, 2109, 2109 and VAZ 2113-2115 cars can be found on the Internet and purchased using the catalog number - 2108-1001033-10. According to the manufacturer, everything is simple - we buy a pillow from BRT or SEVI. Other options are not options...

Tools required for replacing the rear engine mount: 17 socket wrench, a pair of 19 socket wrenches, trapezoidal jack for fixing the engine. We carry out the replacement work in an inspection pit.

The procedure for replacing the rear engine mount (support) on a VAZ-2109 car:

We drive the car into the inspection hole. Remove the engine protection, if any.

Place a jack under the gearbox and slightly lift the gearbox up (photo 2)

Unscrew the nuts securing the mounting bolts to the gearbox (photo 3)

Using a 17 mm socket wrench, unscrew the nuts of the body studs (photo 4)

We take out the bolts and remove the pillow. And we put a new one in its place (photo 5)

Tighten all the nuts and remove the jack

Ways to increase the rigidity of engine fixation on the body of a VAZ 2109

To prevent the VAZ 2109 cushion from being replaced frequently, and to increase the rigidity of the power unit, instead of the standard support, a more advanced part is installed, which has a rigid body and a rubber part inside.

Minimize the movement of the motor when braking, hitting bumps on the roads, or abruptly starting the car. With its help, you can avoid self-switching off the transmission. Increase the resource in the exhaust system and drive the drive wheels. Improve the design of the engine compartment. You can increase the rigidity of the motor by installing an additional fourth support . Its purpose is to connect the clutch housing to the cross member of the front suspension of the VAZ 2109. When installing the device, it is necessary to install a new bracket and find a place for the ignition module. The work procedure includes: Dismantling the VP for spark plugs. Disconnecting the wire connectors from the ignition module of the car. Disconnecting the clutch housing of this module from the cylinder block. The remaining three nuts securing the module are unscrewed, which is then removed. The ignition module takes a different place and new fasteners are installed. A bracket for mounting the fourth support is attached to the cross member of the front suspension. A bolt is installed in the hole on the terminal clamp, the nut is placed and screwed initially by two turns. The lower head of the rod is inserted into the support fixing eye. The bolt is installed in the eye and support, the nut is tightened. The size of the rod is adjusted until the holes in the clutch housing and on the upper head coincide. Another bolt is installed.
