Hi to all i need to replace the engine mounts on my G35 2008 SEDAN ,i already have the mounts(insulators) ebay $180 each and i an planing on do this my self on the weekend ,have any of you do this before ?any recommendation ?

thanks

 

i havent seen anyone change the mounts and talk about them on the forums, but it shouldnt be any different from any other car, just find the mount, loosen the bolt, use a jack to remove the load from the mount and replace

 

wondering why you'd have to do such a thing.......

Virgopelo, please share a bit about how and why your motor mounts have gone bad as well as how you diagnosed them?

 

hi to all
the car was in a accident and it was a lateral hit,the diagnostic was basically visual ,the car was making a loud cracking noise in the driver front side when you break it hard or when you hit the gas to the floor ,and we toked to a shop and lifted and the down part of the mounts are made of aluminum and it was completely cracked and they want like $400 for labor.

i replace the mounts my self and it was a very easy job ,i lift the car hi enough to get under and with a socket 17mm remove the bottom nuts and with a 14mm Ratchet Wrench remove the top nut then using a hydraulic jack lift the engine and change the 2 mounts ,they were totally broke it came out in two parts ,the ensemble was on the reverse order and i did all that on less than one hour
so i save $400.00 and now the car is running like a champ and i pay $360.00 for the parts OEM GENUINE on EBAY

THANKS TO ALL

 

Wow, sounds like it was quite an impact. Glad you got them swapped out ok, and at such a reasonable cost.

PS. if the impact was enough to tear your engine mounts, you may want to give a thorough inspection to the tranny mount as well.
