  Q: What should be done if engine mounts are broken or deteriorated on Nissan Versa?

  A: Engine mounts seldom require attention, but broken or deteriorated mounts should be replaced immediately to prevent added strain on driveline components that may cause damage or wear. During the check, the engine must be raised slightly to remove the weight from the mounts. Begin by raising the vehicle and securely supporting it on jackstands, then remove the splash shields. Position a jack under the engine Oil Pan with a large wood block between the jack head and the oil pan, carefully raising the engine just enough to relieve the weight on the mounts, avoiding placement of the wood block under the oil pan drain plug. Inspect the mounts for any cracks, hardened rubber, or separation from the metal plates, noting that the rubber may split down the center. Check for relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame using a large screwdriver or prybar; if movement is detected, lower the engine and tighten the mount fasteners. Applying rubber preservative can help slow deterioration. For replacement, some models feature active engine mounts that require disconnecting the vacuum line before removal. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands while supporting the engine. To remove the front engine mount, support the engine with a jack and a block of wood, then take out the through-bolt and the mount-to-chassis bolts. For either of the two lower engine mounts, remove the through-bolts and the bolts retaining the mount to the subframe, followed by the engine block-to-mount bolts to remove the mount. Installation follows the reverse order of removal, using thread-locking compound on the mount bolts and nuts, ensuring they are tightened securely.
