Engine mount replacement - I have a weird question..

Is it true that when installing engine mounts, you have to drive a bit with hand tight bolts, let them settle into their favorite position, then torque to spec?


ick I wouldn't drive a car with loose mounts but,, curious.

its called neutralizing the mounts. you dont drive the car, but you do shift it through P R N D couple times to let it "settle" in place a bit more.
