Nissan 11275-96E10 Engine Mounting Bracket Block, Front

To check the mounts, the engine must be raised slightly to relieve weight from them. The vehicle should be raised and securely supported on jackstands, with the engine/transaxle supported from above using a hoist or engine support fixture. The mounts should be inspected for movement; if any is detected, the engine should be lowered and the mount fasteners tightened. Additionally, rubber preservative should be applied to the mounts to slow deterioration.

To replace the mounts, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, set the parking brake, block the rear wheels, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands while removing the splash shields. Support the engine from above, then remove the through-bolts from the right-front and right-rear mounts, detach the crossmember from the vehicle, and remove the mount-to-engine bracket through-bolts. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring bolts are tightened to specifications only after the engine weight is back on the mounts and the jack is removed.
