Default how do you flip the motor mount?

Is it easy or hard?
Also, does anyone know how to lube the ISS? Mine feels like the steering is very loosley connected to the rest of the car and the popping is irritating.
Thanks,
BJ

Mine has 67000 miles on it, so I don't think it will be a warranty item. I wonder how much they charge for that. Anybody know?
Thanks,

the easiest way to flip the motor mount is to just take the bolt out of the dog bone (only need to do the one that goes through the mount) and then the (3?) bolts that hold the piece that surrounds the mount. take it inside, lube it up with wd40 around the mount. let it sit like 5-10 minutes to penetrate. put the two sides of the mount (the metal exposed parts) in a vice and use the piece that surrounds the mount for leverage and twist, it should just turn around the mount assuming its tight enough in the vice. turn it so that the side that was going up and down is now going left and right. dry excess wd40, reassemble onto car, drive fast

There's a nice write-up complete w/ pics ... search the forum with tags like "flipped motor mount"

ISS has always been a problem with these vehicles; my guess is less than 1 hour, going rate is near $80.

Here's the "easy" way: http://www.naioa.com/v2/modules.php?...light=lube+iss

There was another good writeup at ClubGP for removing and lubing the ISS...tryin to find that one for you, too. Much harder, and i don't know if this lasts longer than the easy way.
