Thread: Ebay passenger side motor mount (manual transmission) = thumbs up

My passenger side motor mount went out. For those of you unfamiliar with this problem, the main symptom is the whole engine bay resonating and the car vibrating like crazy until you rev the engine up. It happens to all NX2000s eventually.

I tried to find a mount at my old standby, rockauto.com, and they do not have a correct mount listed for an NX2000 with manual transmission. I called the Nissan dealer and the mount was around $130. So I search ebay for "sentra motor mount" and lo and behold, a mount being sold by SU AUTOPART for $33.29 shipped . I was a bit leery of an Ebay motor mount, but ordered it anyway.

The mount is the updated version with the squarish center sleeve. It's made in Japan. The quality looks to be just slightly lower than the Nissan part, but it's a motor mount - not a whole lot of precision is necessary. The install went smoothly, and now I can actually drive my car without my body going numb and can hear the other things wrong with my car.

Just wanted to post this up in case anyone else has the same problem and doesn't want to pay over $100 for a couple pieces of metal with some rubber in between.

so was this the mount itself or just the bushing? Either way, glad to see the B13s on the road in the best shape possible.

$10.00 more bucks and you could have got prothanes! You still have 3 weaker mounts to go.

It was the whole mount, not just the bushing.

Prothane passenger side mount? I wanted to fix the vibration, not make it worse. This is a DD.

OK.

eh the vib isn't bad at all... everyone makes it out to be so bad... i can only even feel it at idle... and it only really makes a bit of noise, turn up your radio a click and it goes away =P

my vibration is torelable.. the passenger side t top vibrate cause the panel is lose.(anybody know how to fix that?) it vibrates at idle and on high rpm is vibrates but you get use to it and like snj said turn up your radio and you wont even pay attention to it

Would it make sense to buy these aftermarket ebay mounts and press in prothanes, just to get a brand new mount in the car at a decent price? Or should you just get prothanes and press them into old mounts?

the only sleeve that really takes a beating is the one on the rear side of the cross-member. If you want to get rid of the vibration you can machine down the prothane so it doesn't rub/touch the frame or pour your own old-school like.

Is this ebay mount liquid filled or solid?

Prothanes in the pass side fixes the vibrations and doesnt necessarily introduce new ones.
