Mitsubishi Galant V6 Twin Turbo 7G Mitsubishi Galant I picked up for a friend. Twin Turbo V6 7th Gen Galant.

Below is the reverse order of operations for this task:

### 10. **Test the Installation**
– start the engine and let it run.
– Check for unusual vibrations or noises.
– ensure that the engine is securely mounted and that there are no leaks or issues.

### 9. **Reconnect Electrical Connectors**
– Plug back any electrical connectors that were disconnected during the removal process.

### 8. **Reattach Any Components**
– Reinstall any components that were removed to gain access to the engine mount, such as air intake ducts, covers, or other accessories.

### 7. **Lower the Engine**
– Carefully lower the engine back into place if it was supported by a jack or hoist.
– ensure that the engine mount aligns properly with the mounting bracket.

### 6. **Install the New Engine Mount**
– Position the new engine mount onto the mounting bracket.
– Insert and hand-tighten the bolts that secure the engine mount.

### 5. **Torque the Bolts**
– Using a torque wrench, tighten the engine mount bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque settings.

### 4. **Support the Engine**
– Use a jack or engine hoist to support the engine. This may involve placing a block of wood between the jack and the oil pan to distribute the weight evenly.

### 3. **Remove the Old Engine Mount**
– Remove the bolts securing the old engine mount to the engine and the chassis.
– Carefully take out the old mount.

### 2. **Prepare the Work Area**
– ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and securely elevated with jack stands.
– Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electrical shorts or issues during the replacement.

### 1. **Gather Tools and Materials**
– Gather necessary tools such as wrenches, sockets, a torque wrench, a jack, and a new engine mount.

Following this reverse order will provide a structured approach to replacing the engine mount on a Mitsubishi Galant. always refer to the vehicle’s service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications.
A control arm bushing is a crucial component of a vehicle’s suspension system, designed to provide a flexible connection between the control arm and the vehicle’s chassis. Typically made from rubber or polyurethane, these bushings serve multiple purposes that enhance the performance and comfort of the vehicle.

The primary function of a control arm bushing is to absorb vibrations and road shocks that can be transmitted through the suspension. By doing so, it helps maintain tire contact with the road surface, improving traction and handling. This vibration dampening is essential for a smooth ride, as it minimizes the harshness felt by passengers and preserves the integrity of other suspension components.

Moreover, control arm bushings allow for controlled movement of the control arms, which are pivotal in maintaining proper wheel alignment. As the suspension moves during driving—whether going over bumps or making turns—the bushings facilitate this movement while also preventing excessive play, which can lead to misalignment and uneven tire wear.

Over time, control arm bushings can wear out due to exposure to road debris, heat, and constant flexing. Signs of wear include clunking noises, poor handling, and increased tire wear. Regular inspection and maintenance of these bushings are vital to ensure the vehicle’s suspension system functions optimally, promoting safety and performance on the road.
