If you have replaced the engine mount....a question

[Porsche9]

$80 is not enough to get me to do stuff like this myself. Nice thing is my work is close to his shop so he gave me his Cayenne to get to work and then dropped my car off and took the Cayenne back I didn' even have to go pick up my car.

Congrats on getting married. Hope you are as lucky as I am. Been married over 20 years with no regrets.

Thanks for everyone's help

especially Pedro my old friend

Did replacing the rear control arms take care of the noise? Good luck on the wedding

No. Im pretty sure that 15 is way too low. Pedros write up has the torque specs for the studs. They are pretty high, in the 30 to 40 ft-lbs if i remember. If you dont torque them to the right spec, they will pull out when you put the nuts on them and you will be in a world of ******************** trying to get a a helicoil in there. Be warned.

I torqued all those to 35 ft lbs per Pedro's instructions. I simply installed the 4 studs using a 1/4 inch drive 7mm socket until they bottomed out and were tight...then the nuts. The bolts that you never actually take out are the ones I could not get a torque wrench on. If the coolant hoses were removed it would be a pretty easy job.
