WOT Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Thought Id show a video of how much torque my VQ has... Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> So ya, I beat on my car pretty good from stop lights, but I didnt think my engine mounts would cry like this!! I have noticed a clunk in the last few month from the front of the car when letting off the gas from WOT, but never thought THIS was going on under the hood I had just painted my engine cover and noticed a good blemish on the top and noticed that it had rubbed up against my hood in the few days it was installed so I made this video Motor mounts dont look to expensive as a part, but @!*% if I can see any of the bolts to change the part. Anyone swapped a mount on a 2wd before?? Edited February 6, 2012 by WOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994SEV6 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm getting a "video not found or access denied" error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowTied Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 yup, that'd broken. g/l with the fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994SEV6 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 ok. Now I can see it. Yeah, that's definitely a broken motor mount. That's a lot of movement! I've never replaced a motor mount on a 2wd vehicle, or replaced a motor mount at all for that matter, but it should be easier on 2wd. You don't have a front differential or any of those related parts in the front to get in your way and make everything fun and stupidly hard.

WOT Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Ya its snowing here so I havent had a chance to really get under and check it out to really see where the bolts are or how to even go about getting this out. Hopefully I can take the mount out without anything else having to come with it to gain access Im gonna hit up Napa and Carquest on my lunch to see how much the mount will run me and if you can buy them individually Im just glad I noticed this before the damn engine ripped all the mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm surprised you didn't break anything else since the engine shifts with the transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You should be able to get the mounts from the top pretty easy. though of course I've never really been under the hood of these sissy unibody trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Pretty spendy mount locally, lowest I found was $150. They say it is hydraulic and thats why it is so much, why in the crap would there be anything to do with hydraulics in the motor mount?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It probably has fluid in it to smooth out the vibrations of the motor, your Q is a luxury vehicle. You could probably use a mount for the same year pathfinder with the same engine. Do be careful till you change it. I ignored the mounts in a dodge company vehicle once. I stepped on it once to many and the other mount finally let go and the motor turned sideways by about 3 inches. Was a lot of fun to fix on the side of the interstate at 9pm with nothing to lift the motor but the factory jack. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Oh just filled with fluid, makes a bit of sence. Ill have to check ebay and online for better pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack101 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I've seen them online for $50-100 at various places, but we need to find out a) how much the dealer charges and b ) what are the good online parts sources for Pathfinder/QX4 in Canada?

WOT Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Dealer wanted $280 for the drivers mount Best place to order OEM and get it shipped to canada is courtesyparts.com so far Ive found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 $77 shipped to my address from Rock Auto. That's where I'd be ordering from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Rockauto eh, Ive heard of that site from my girlfriends dad but never checked it out, sounds like I gotta. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) they seem to sell a "solid option" and a "oem hydraulic" Only a few dollars difference in price... You think by solid they mean SOLID rigid mount?? EDIT: looks like a damn good site, since I dont wanna make another thread. I also need new balljoints, but I was hoping to get a GOOD quality one that had a grease zerk, which I thought the MOOG brand for our rigs had. But in Rockautos pics I dont see a zerk... Could it just be the wrong part pictured?? Id like to pick up balljoints aswell with this order THanks guys Edited February 8, 2012 by WOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Definitely broken, crazy how it tore apart OEM out pretty easily actually and sitting on the floor but it wasnt one piece anymore.. Hope the rockauto factory replacement holds up Edited March 5, 2012 by WOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That doesn't look like a hydraulic mount to me. Hydraulic mounts from Nissan are not even that great anyway because they leak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
