Bad motor mount, what else should I address while fixing?

Post by v8suprcapric »

Chevy dealer is going to be replacing a motor mount for me under warranty, car's got 85,000 miles on it, is there anything else I should have them look at or do when doing whatever they have to do to replace the mount?

So they have to lift the engine to replace the mounts. EDIT: Deleted statement about oil pan, I was thinking of trucks for some reason.

Have them inspect the trans mount as well.

I would say deep trans pan mod but you can do that on your own.
