I have a 2003 maxima and i need a quality front engine mount. I purchased 2 of ebay and they both broke. Nissan prices are outrageous and i really want to avoid buying from them. I tried the energy suspension insert and i didnt like it. The insert gave so much vibration in the cabin i was never comfortable. The engine response was great however like i said the vibration was overwhelming. I took it out and put a ebay mount which eventually broke.
Any suggestions???

 

How long did you have the ES mounts in before you removed them? I have heard several say it takes a little while for them to settle and vibration will reduce some but not a great deal.

 

OEM---> The best quality, I just purchased the trans and pass mount, waiting a few more weeks for the other two, because they do break the bank

 

how is this suspension or chassis related in any way, shape, or form?
let alone advanced...
buy OEM parts and move on with life.

 

Pony up the cash for OEM or go back with the ES bushings you already paid money for and deal with the increased vibrations.

 

Some parts you have to just fork over the cash. The aftermarket options are cheap not because they can make them cheaper but because they use cheaper parts made blatantly obvious by the premature failure of your ebay mounts. Dont ask me how much I paid for 2 OEM control arms. Just get 2 mounts at a time, I would think the front and rear are the most worn, and eat ramen for a few weeks lol

 

I got the ES Bushings yes a little Vibration not major, but if you want OEM, order from CourtesyNissan, they are about a 100 a piece I think not that much cash since you want that comfort.......

 

you can always try looking for a used oem mount with low miles if you're so picky on the price.

 

Vibration is not normal once you're above idle with ES inserts. There must be something else wrong with your car/engine. The engine is internally balanced. It may not be perfect, but it's very smooth when revving (all that BS on car mags is just that, they must be talking about the Z's suspension/chassis noise).

Am I the only one that notices these things (or doesn't notice imperceptible vibration ) ?

 

Use Courtesy, Nissanasapparts, etc.....not the dealer!

 

Front is $220

 

Thats way to much for the front which is on the passenger side, that would be a "cheap" oem price for that electronic one next to the radiator.

 

Why not get the MT one, **** the Electrical one and you dont get a CEL....
