basically the crossmember does not have enough room to slide under the motor mount bolts
art u can use this to see what i am running into i tried to move the engine up but due to the due to the 5s being positioned at an angle. it does not really move as high as i want it to suggestions would be great ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

If you are still having issues, here is a little trick I use. I have done this about 5 or 6 times: There are two long bolts with special nuts that hold the power steering rack to the chasis. Remove one and loosen the other, this enables you to raise the rack up a bit and gives you the neccessary room to remove and replace your rear mount. If you want you can remove both bolts but I find removing just one to be sufficient.
Please report back it it works, only because I have done this several times on a 3s but I want to see if it works on the 5s and others. Good luck. -------------------- 3sgteing.
