Hi I'm new here! I need help with my car and because I'm doing my work myself, and still learning about vehicles in general. I'm assuming my motor mount is bad, is there a way to know exactly which one it is? My engine looks like it is lopsided, leaning more towards my power steering reservoir and it looks like it has moved forward. I'm hoping that would be the front motor mount, however I'm assuming its going to be the rear one because im assuming that's the hardest one. Any advice?

 

I don’t know how many miles you have on your car. If these are the original engine mounts on a 12 year old car, it is time to change all the mounts.

 

On the 2010 Maxima, look at the upper engine torque strut mount on the passenger side. I had this one fail on my car, and it was very easy to change out. You can tell if it's bad because the rubber insert will either be torn or missing altogether. If your engine has shifted on you, yours are definitely completely worn out. If you don't know what I'm referring to look on YouTube for a video on Maxima engine torque strut mount, there's a mechanic who shows step by step how to remove and replace them.

 

So i am replacing all motor mounts. Ive looked everywhere but cant find anything, for the engine torque mount does it go a specific way in? And are there any markings for which is top and bottom? Thanks guys!

 

Go to eBay and do a search for "2010 Maxima torque mount". The picture that comes up will be of the upper torque mount that I suspect is bad.
Although, you said your engine is leaning to the right, so you'll more than likely have several bad mounts.

You don't say where you're located or how many miles your car has on it. I replaced my torque strut mount at 159k miles. I keep my car in a garage and as preventative maintenance I'm about to replace all my suspension components since my car just went over 184k miles. If you're not confident in doing the work, I suggest you buy the parts and have a shop put them on for you or have a friend do it for you because none of those jobs are too hard.
