    Is there a way to remove the mount easily or do you install them in the bracket while it's on the car? I could only find 2 bolts that looked like it held it on but can't feel anything on the bottom or see a way to get to them if there is any.

    What is a torque strut bushing?

    You mean the square engine mount? There's 4 bolts.. if you found two..the other two are right there staring you in teh face. Literally 1/2" from the other bolt.. same view..
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    No I mean torque strut between engine and core support to keep the engine from rolling back and forth. Engine mounts go on the side and bottom to keep engine in the car. If they were 1/2" from each other don't ya think I would have seen them?

    Take them off the car, two bolts on top, two through access holes. They're press fit, so unless you have a tool to press the old ones out, I'd just hack them out.

    The bolts are about a 1/2" away from the others. You must not be looking very hard.
