🔧 Murano - Engine Mount Replacement

On your Murano, “engine mounts” can mean a few different mounts (right/passenger-side engine mount, left/driver-side transmission mount, and a rear/torque mount). The exact steps, access points, and torque specs change depending on whether you have FWD or AWD and which mount(s) you’re replacing.

Difficulty Level: Advanced | Estimated Time: 2.0-5.0 hours

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• ⚠️ Never get under the engine while it’s only supported by a jack.
• ⚠️ Support the engine with a proper support bar or a jack + wood block before loosening any mount bolts.
• ⚠️ Keep hands clear while raising/lowering the engine; mounts can shift suddenly.
• ⚠️ Let the exhaust cool fully before working near the rear mount area.
• ⚠️ Battery disconnect may be required if you remove intake/ground cables near the battery tray area.

📋 Before You Begin

• Park on level ground, set the parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels.
• Open the hood and remove any loose items from the engine bay.
• Plan how you will support the engine: an engine support bar (specialty) spans the fenders and holds the engine from above; it’s the safest method.
• If using a jack under the engine, place the wood block on the jack pad first (spreads load so you don’t crack the oil pan).

🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Confirm which mount(s) and drivetrain you have

• I need 2 quick details so I can give the correct Murano-specific steps and torque specs:
• Are we talking about your Murano being FWD or AWD?
• Which mount(s) are you replacing: right-side engine mount, left-side transmission mount, rear torque mount, or all of them?

Step 2: Pause here to avoid incorrect removal

• Access, bracket removal, and bolt torque differ by mount location and FWD vs AWD. Once you answer the two questions above, I’ll lay out the exact step sequence with the correct tool callouts and torque values.
• Tip: Replacing one mount at a time is safer.

✅ After Repair

• Verify the engine sits level and no hoses/wires are stretched or pinched.
• Start the engine and check for abnormal vibration at idle in Park and Drive (foot on brake).
• Test drive and listen for clunks on acceleration/braking transitions.
• Recheck all accessible fasteners with a torque wrench (10–200 ft-lbs) after a short drive.
