DIY - 2014 Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDI: Change the front lower engine mount

While chasing a low-frequency noise audible especially when the front-left wheel was loaded, we discovered that the front lower engine mount on our Sportage was pretty worn out and likely to be at least part of the issue. Replacing this mount is an easy job, though care should be taken if the car is very old, as some of the bolts may be rusted in place and potentially difficult to remove.
The OE code for the lower engine mount: 219502S000

I have a 2012 Sportage 2.0 CRDI in Australia. My problem is that the dub-dub sounds and vibration appear at nearly 80-90km/h. Also, sometimes at lower speeds ~40km/h, when I brake and turn left, my foot can feel the car going dub-dub. Gonna have a look at the mounts.

First I'd start with the wheels - make sure they're balanced and the rims have not become oval (from potholes etc.). Then check the engine mounts, bushings and ball-joints for abnormal / too much play.

Hello, thank you for the information. What are the tightening torque values?

[@TheMissingBolt]

Hello! I don't remember them at the moment, but I did mention them in the video during the tightening of each individual bolt.

Hallo was macht es wenn kaputt das

Bitte schauen Sie sich die Erläuterungen ab 19:32 Uhr an. Wenn dieses Teil kaputt geht, werden mehr Vibrationen über die verbleibenden zwei Motorlager auf die Fahrzeugkarosserie übertragen. Dadurch verringert sich der Fahrkomfort und auch die Lebensdauer der anderen Motorlagerungen verringert sich, da diese zusätzlichen Längsschwingungen ausgesetzt sind.
