This vehicle has a "clunk" noise and a noticeable shift in the vehicle when accelerating or on harsh shifts. A visual inspection found that the Upper Engine Torque Strut Mount had failed.
This is a common problem on these vehicle and it affects the 2008 - 2017 Buick Enclave, as well as the GMC Acadia and the Chevrolet Traverse.

I struggled more with getting the new one in than the old one out. Thanks for the tip about the notch on the bottom. Once I found the correct angle I just had to work it in to place. Didn't take a whole lot of force.

Really enjoyed this video. Very Professional step by step from start to finish. You were Awesome in your instructions. You didn't just start in the middle, you started from giving a good understanding of what you were about to do to disconnecting the negative cable on the battery first., then gave instructions as you talked us through this video, what to do, what not to do, the best way to do it from start to finish. Awesome. Thanks for sharing this video. Very helpful. You've convinced me I can do this myself.

Thank you for this video. This repair seemed daunting just from the idea of removing the fuse box and then literally taking an engine mount off. I literally did the task in 1 hour without any surprises. And I didn't do the job properly by tightening the mount enough. So the second time took me 15 mins from start to finish. A smidge under 50 lb/ft is enough to keep the mount stable You're the best!

Great video i just replaced one yesterday along with a motor mount. Found it was not lining up as easy so what it did was lift the engine from the bottom with a jack and it lined up perfect. Went in with ease.

Great video! Very detailed! I have a question. Do you have to lift the engine at all to replace this torque strut?
@DIYAutoHomeschool
@DIYAutoHomeschool 4 жыл бұрын
No, lifting of the engine is not required for this mount. This mount is used to keep the engine from moving forward and rearward at the top as it would tend to when driving. On some, you might have to slightly rock the vehicle back and forth to shift the engine slightly to line up the holes, but that's not usually an issue.

No, actually. When editing, I noticed the same thing, that the relief was on top when I installed it. I went through and you can see when I'm holding the new part that both sides are actually relief cut like that. Thanks for the comment and I hope the video helped.

Why not take the whole arm off? No need to fiddle with wiggling things around and wedging screwdrivers, take the mount off the arm outsode the bay. It's two more bolts...had take it off to replace the water pump the other day went way easier than what you went through.
