Since they aren't electronic should I be worrying about the ecu burning out if they go bad? Thats the only reason I wanted to replace them now but I have so much other **** I gotta do I rather not if I don't have to.

Auto came with electronic but you can unplug them or not use them whatsoever like in my case...

What mileage is your car?

engine support

Maxima 2000-2003 with manual trasmission: have front and rear NON- ELECTRONIC engine support. My advised is to replace the front with OEM Genuine NISSAN engine support. The rear one, your preferrence. Replace
Motor Subframe Bushings - Front Mount with Energy suspension.
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...sp?prod=7.1116
Why OEM in front, the aftermarket Engine support will give a lot of vibration on the vehicle. I replace the motor subframe bushing on my vehicle and I feel minimal negligible vibration but it compensate on stability and excellent control in high speed.

Those gotta be pressed in? Just replace the bushings?

You don't need a press! Cut them in half and insert each side then install the bushing for the bolt and they aren't going anywhere once assembled on the car! Or use your car as the press!

Seriously? Use a car as a press? Find someone with a press. Do it right. You will need a press to get the old ones out.

But to the OP, there is NO RUSH to do your motor mount bushings. You do not have electronic mounts, thus, there is no risk to your ECU.
