Change the top mounts rear and front. VR6 mounts for the front.

Remember to put the front bearing bellow the nut not ontop.

Take your time and remember to measure the thread on each side to ensure they are the same both sides.

The rear will sit higher than the fronts due to the added weight.




vr6 for the front, ordered them, what for the rear?

No difference really but your old ones will be really soft and can lead to rattles
