2005 Toyota RAV4 Engine & Transmission Mount Torque Specs

OEM-referenced torque, socket, and thread specs for the 4 engine and transmission mount fasteners on the 2005 Toyota RAV4 — including the Engine Mount Insulator (Front/FR) to Front Crossmember (torques to 95 Nm (70 ft-lbs); through bolt: 145 Nm (107 ft-lbs), 17mm / 19mm socket, M12x1.25 thread). Replacing a broken or collapsed motor mount is one of the most common vibration fixes; get the torque right so the new mount seats square. Full bolt specs for the rest of the vehicle are linked below.

How to replace and torque RAV4 engine & transmission mounts

Support the engine (or transmission) from below with a jack and a block of wood, or from above with an engine support bar, before unbolting any mount — the powertrain will drop otherwise. Replace mounts one at a time so the others hold alignment. Raise or lower the powertrain until the new mount's bolt holes line up WITHOUT prying, then start every bolt by hand to avoid cross-threading. Make the final pass with a calibrated torque wrench, and let the powertrain settle onto all mounts before the last torque check. A mount torqued while the engine is jacked off-center pre-loads the rubber and transmits vibration.
