Nissan Maxima 2009-2014 3.5L Engine and Transmission Mount Kit

The VQ35DE in these Nissans makes plenty of torque, and the hydraulic front mount and torque struts take the beating. Typical complaints are a bang when shifting from park to drive, a heavy vibration at idle in gear, and the engine rocking hard on a brake-torque test. A worn CVT mount on these cars can also make engagement feel rough and get mistaken for a transmission fault.

This kit replaces the automatic transmission mount, the rear torque strut mount, the front right torque strut mount, the front right engine mount, the rear engine mount and the front mount. It fits the 2009-2014 Nissan Maxima 3.5L, the 2007-2012 Nissan Altima 3.5L and the 2009-2014 Nissan Murano 3.5L with front-wheel drive. Cross references: A7361, A7362, A7363, A4365HY, A4356HY, A4355HY, 9625, 9807, 9808.

Put a jack and a block of wood under the oil pan to carry the engine and change one mount at a time. Run the bolts snug, lower the car onto its wheels, then torque everything so the rubber is not preloaded. Finish with the torque struts and recheck engine movement with the hood up.
