Nissan Maxima 7th Gen 2010 - How to Replace Front Engine Mount - Part 1

2010 Nissan Maxima -- I had to replace the front lower engine mount (large one). I was experiencing some noise, jerking, and hard shifting issues that mimicked transmission, wheel bearing, or cvt axle issues. The Lower mount was shot and I had gone through two torque mounts due to the damage lower mount. After replacing the large lower engine mount the issues where 97% resolved -- much better now. Car runs like new again.
Parts - Beck / Arnley Front Engine Mount $65.00 versus the $250 nissan mount and the autozone/orielly beck /arnley mount for $150. Dealer quoted of over $500 for the this job. The job actually cost $65.00 B&A Mount ordered online.

Oem used all da way. Hey there Oem. . Hey brother I noticed Afther replacing them m mounts my hose from the raidiator began to leak a small drip Wen I turn off car. Just minor 2 drops or so. So cud it b the movement coursed that to move ? Another question To get to the lower hose that connect to raidiator is a bitch due to it being in a hard position. Is it posible to replace the clamps with out removing the entire bumper. Two sections drip alil. One upset on da t neck were u fill it the one connecting to the raidiator nd the lower one both connect to raidiator. But the positions r hard to Gt to u hve the same car. Can u hlp me out to get to it Upper small hose refill area dat go to raidiator n lower go to raidiator

[@ebaysnipa]

how many miles did you have at the time of replacement? thanks for sharing

take the radiator out and don't take a chance of breaking the new mount. They have oil in them

Why need to remove torque mount?

[@Les7311]

@@leo3325 if you don’t loosen them, then they will break from the pressure. Broke one arm today...ggggrrrrr

[@Les7311]

How can you tell when it's worn out? Is it when you change gears or something else

[@KingzleyATM]

My Engine Jerks when I change gear, I thought it was the transmission but its the engine mount. Just dont know which one. Theres 4 of em.

[@Atonement-]

Kingzley ...not exactly sure, but if you're getting jerking when shifting or whatever, it's gotta be the Front or Rear...b/c even if the Upper Right Torque Rod is shot, & there's that much of a jerking sensation for u to feel it?? Then something beyond the Torque Rod (at least the upper one, but probably lower Rod too) is dead...guess it could also be the Right mount too. I think we have 6 total supports: - Front Mount -Rear Mount -Right Mount -Upper Right Torque Rod Insulator - Lower Right Torque Rod Insulator - Lower Left Transmission Insulator (or Mount not sure) Beyond the Upper Right Torque Rod (& perhaps the Lower Left Trans support), the rest are expensive as chit! (Just the part too... service cost even worse).

I just replaced the torque mount on my 2011 maxima. It had the car riding as if it were bottoming out rubbing the tires. A lot of rough vibrations when it dipped. I though it was the suspension. I noticed the torque mount had cracked and was just replacing it. Didnt knowxtat itcwas the cause of my issues.
