Hi All

I live in a apartment so car spot space is limited.
Is there enough room to lower the subframe (after supporting the engine with engine support bar) to replace the engine mount or do you need to have the car on 4 jack stands?

You only need to put it on 2 jack stands. Engine support bar is highly recommended but technically you can get away with jacking the engine up and removing the engine mount with the subframe still bolted in. Imo just spend the money and do it properly with the right tools (support bar is only $80 after all). With the support bar you only need to lower subframe around 100mm and you'll have enough to get the mounts out.

Thanks for the response mate. Im assuming with engine support bar and front of car on 2 jack stands the oil pan gasket can also be replaced?

Yeh but in that case you'd really want to completely remove the subframe as it's a real pain to work under the car with a hanging subframe in your face

Realoem lists 22116760330 for the left and 22116773744 for the right engine mounts respectively.
However when i search for 22116760330 on ecs tuning it lists this part number as fitting both left and rights sides. Can anyone confirm this?
