vibes 45-60 only

[NissanNut]

I have been trying to chase down some vibes in the steering for the last year on my 04 Quest. Already installed slotted rotors and ceramic pads to fix the brake vibes.

Also tried new tires and struts. Still get vibes mostly on acceleration and deceleration under LOAD. For example when climbing big mountains in AZ and new mexico. Once I hit 70-80mph its fine. only between 45-60.

I noticed the front engine mount is ripped badly. took it off and found a new one at oreily. But it did not have the sensor port. What the hell is the sensor in the engine mount?

Oreilys $178 -- does not have sensor
Autozone $165

This new motor fixed al my vibrations!!! But no I get vibrations above 60pmh from the rear. I just ordered another set of tires. This motor mount ripped caused my tires to become out of round.


Found out what the sensor on the motor mount is. Its actually motor that tightens the mount. If disconnected no obdII codes.

Here is The motor in the mount.



The new mount looks much better.

Yeah front wheel drive cars are terrible on tires. The OEM goodyears lasted 8k. Now at 60k Gone through so many sets. Tried cheap $100 Yokohamas and Kumhos. I go down to the bare steel before replacing. Need to SAS this thing so the tires last longer.
