Replace both motor mounts

Replace both motor mounts
Noticed the motor shifted positions and looked under there and see I need to replace both mounts.
I can't seem to find much on this -- I'm wondering will the motor ( AJ16 ) comply easily when lifted?
Can this be done while it's still connected to the transmission?
I have both a "cherry-picker" lift and a floor jack.
Thank you

If you look at the aftmost clearance of the engine to the firewall , I don't believe there is much vertical lift to the engine before interference
Therefore I believe you keep the engine at the same height and lower the front suspension cross member
I have not done this job but have lowered the block and Trans for starter replacement
Engine block still tied to transmission has little upward space

Thanks! Any tips on replacing the big rear subframe bushings? I'm going to swap them out tomorrow. I'm concerned with getting them in there correctly. It looks like it's not going to be easy to get them clocked correctly so the center offset bolt lines up. Or, maybe it's not super critical?

for some reason I got the spare mounts with imperial threads instead of metric (the originals were with metric) so if the spares do not come with new nuts pay some attention to the thread type so you have the correct type of nuts to fix the mounts back in place.
and at least _we_ needed to dismount the steering rack and steering axle to be able to wiggle the mounts and perches of the subframe.
Done with proper lift it was surprisingly annoying task with jack and jackstands it might be more on the side of PITA.

Does anyone know if the left and right motor mounts are identical, and just have for some strange reason different part numbers? All visual online research shows identical pieces.
Also, are the URO JLM1010 a good replacement for both motor mounts?
Need to urgently buy new engine mounts!
thanks!

Hi
JaguarLandroverClassic shows that they have different part numbers, as you are listing here.
But the pieces look identical.
Can you confirm that there are actually physical differences between them, and which ones?
I am about to replace my motor mounts on a 1995 XJR, and the online info about those part numbers and their difference is very wishy-washy, unclear.
Thank you for listening …
