Parts for your 2017 Nissan Serena-Engine mount

2017 Nissan Serena Engine Mounts

Engine mounts are absolutely used on the 2017 Nissan Serena (C27). Technical documentation confirms this: the Nissan C27 Electronic Service Manual (Engine Mechanical – Engine Mounting) details multiple mounts, and the Nissan electronic parts catalogue lists a right-hand engine mount insulator, a left-hand transaxle mount, plus front and rear roll stoppers. That means the Serena relies on a set of mounts to support the engine, manage torque, and keep noise and vibration in check.

On this Serena, the mounts do the heavy lifting of holding the 2.0-litre S-HYBRID powertrain steady while isolating vibration from the cabin. The main side mounts carry the weight and set the engine height, while the front and rear “roll stopper” mounts control the fore–aft twist on take-off and decel. Many variants use hydraulic (fluid-filled) mounts for better NVH, which is handy with idle-stop restarts and the smooth, low-rev behaviour of the CVT.

There’s no strict replacement interval, mounts are a wear item and their life depends on kilometres, heat, and how the vehicle is driven. In local Aussie and Kiwi conditions, they often last 80,000–150,000 km. Regular servicing should include a visual check for collapsed rubber, perishing, or hydraulic fluid weep, plus a quick engine rock test under the bonnet to spot excess movement. Any clunk when shifting from R to D, or a buzz through the steering at idle with the A/C on, is a cue to inspect.

When replacement is needed, it’s smart to assess the full set. If a main side mount has failed, the opposite side or a roll stopper may be tired too. Quality matters—genuine or reputable aftermarket mounts maintain the Serena’s ride comfort and driveline alignment. Fitment requires safely supporting the engine, following service-manual procedures, and torquing fasteners with the engine at its normal installed height. After installation, a short road test and a recheck for fastener torque and idle NVH is good practice. It’s not usually a wheel alignment job, but it can reduce felt vibration and tidy up driveline harshness straight away.

• Common symptoms of worn mounts: vibration at idle, clunk on gear engagement, thump on accel/brake, visible sag or fluid leak, and exhaust or hose contact due to engine drop.

Popular questions about 2017 Nissan Serena engine mounts

How long do the engine mounts last on a 2017 Serena?
There’s no fixed schedule, but many last 80,000–150,000 km. Heat, frequent stop–start driving, and towing or heavy loads can shorten life. Regular inspections during routine servicing help catch early wear before it turns into annoying vibration or driveline knock.

What are the tell-tale signs the mounts need replacing?
Owners often notice a shake at idle, a clunk swapping between R and D, or a thump on take-off. A visual check might show cracked rubber, a collapsed mount, or fluid seep from a hydraulic mount. Excess engine movement under the bonnet during a gentle power-brake test is another giveaway.

Should all mounts be replaced at once?
Not always, but it’s wise to assess them as a set. If one main mount has failed, the others may be close behind—replacing the worst offenders together can restore NVH properly and avoid repeat labour. A technician can prioritise based on condition and budget.
