Does someone know how far the back of the edge of the air cleaner top is from the edge of the cowling on an hhr with good motor mounts?
​​​​​​​Thanks

 

No.... But if you look in your passenger wheel well there should be an access hole with the head of a bolt in the middle of it. If the head of the bolt is lower, then your upper mount is toast. Try a power brake test to check the mounts. You can also use a pry bar.

 

ok thanks ill check that. I know that they are hydraulic and over time they sag quite a bit. Ive read where a bad one can be what causes the flex pipe to crack

 

And look for cracks in the transmission mounts.

 

Definitely will. In looking on ebay I see lots of packs of 3 mounts but very few include the 4th mount which is the upper transmission mount. Is that because it rarely fails?

 

I’m thinking. I haven’t had mine out yet to inspect it.
