How to replace the rear engine mount on a 2012 Mazda 3 i 2.0L (“G” VIN). I had a shimmying noise during shifting so checked my mount and bought a new one; at the time of this video, I did not need to replace the mount after removing and inspecting it. This video covers removal and installation if you did have to replace.

Use extreme caution, jack stands, and a jack/wooden block to support the engine during this job. The engine is held by the other two main mounts, and this mount helps secure the engine from twisting.
