Since I can't do a search, how does one know if their motor mounts are going bad?

 

When your car jerks alot, thru shifts. Also it might pull to the side when you give it gas or let off the gas. Alot Wheel hop when launching the car. Look at them

 

i just replaced all my motor mounts and my tranny mount with aftermarket mounts for 200 in my 97 max. because mine went. If you want the guys contact info email me @ bravo713@aol.com

 

hey im interested in the info, did you get them installed for $200?

 

You'll feel the engine rolling too much and it will move the car with it.
Set your parking brake and place load on the engine while in gear. As you move into gear (auto or manual, though for manual, you'll have to modulate the clutch) and out of gear, you'll be able to sense whether there is too much play. Then check the other half of a possible problem by creating load in reverse.

Visually, you can inspect the motor mounts by looking for tears, brittleness, flaking, etc. If you want to know where they are, read through the FAQs, buy a Haynes manual or FSM and get a little dirty working on your car.

I did the shore 80-a (or however that works) homemade poly-filled mounts per Eric's instructions. I think they're absolutely incredible and should be what Nissan provides from the factory. I have absolutely no complaints about vibration or noise.

Cheers,
