I have a full set of moog rubber in a box, except for the MOOG ES2004S Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve which was out of stock. Also moog springs and Bilstein shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you can afford and enjoy the car while you save/shop/ order for the next steps. On another note, I don't know how (not saying it can't be done) you replace the motor mounts without and engine lift. I'm sure others will chime in with the options you mentioned Floor jack.

Also moog springs and Bilstein shocks Don’t get me wrong. 50 year old rubber should be replaced, but do it when it is convenient for you( engine out). Unless of course it’s broken which is entirely possible. FYI , the es2004s has no rubber on it so technically you could clean your old ones up and reuse them. But if you can find them might be easier to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Haynes workshop manual: 9. Engine mounts - replacement with engine in vehicle 1 If on inspection, the flexible mounts have become hard or are split or separated from their metal backing, they must be replaced. This operation may be carried out with the engine/transmission still in the vehicle. See Section 23 for the proper way to raise the engine while it is still in place. Front mounts 2 Remove the through-bolt and nut. 3 Raise the engine slightly using a hoist or jack with wood block under the oil pan, then remove the mount and frame bracket assembly from the crossmember. 4 Install the new mount, install the through-bolt and nut, then tighten all the bolts to the specified torque. The thru-bolt must be installed from the rear on the right-hand side mount. Rear mount 5 Remove the crossmember to mount bolts then raise the trans- mission slightly using a jack. 6 Remove the mount to transmission bolts, followed by the mount. 7 Install the new mount, lower the transmission and align the crossmember to mount bolts. 8 Tighten all the bolts to the specified torque.

My buddy has a lift so that's all I've ever used 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
