Nissan Qashqai J10 – restoration of the left upper engine mount as an effective alternative to buying a new one

Nissan Qashqai J10 – restoration of the left upper engine mount as an effective alternative to buying a new one

The Nissan Qashqai J10 is one of the most popular urban crossovers, combining practicality with balanced handling. The model was designed to meet everyday driving needs, featuring a well-engineered suspension and optimal interaction between the powertrain and the body. However, even with careful operation, certain components gradually lose their properties. One of these is the left upper engine mount, which plays a crucial role in engine stability, ride comfort, and vibration reduction. Due to constant loads, temperature changes, and harsh road conditions, it is often one of the first mounts to require attention.

 

Many Qashqai owners believe that the only solution is purchasing a new original mount. While this option restores factory specifications, it has notable drawbacks: high cost and the risk of buying a low-quality aftermarket replacement with a shorter lifespan. That is why PolyPro offers an alternative — reconstruction by replacing the worn rubber element with polyurethane. This approach restores functionality without the expense of buying a new part.

What this component is and why it is critically important

An engine mount is a support that connects the powertrain to the vehicle body and acts as a damper. It absorbs vibrations, reduces impacts, stabilizes engine position, and protects other powertrain components from overloads. Properly functioning mounts ensure smooth driving and prevent excessive noise and vibration.

The left upper mount in the Qashqai J10 has a specific function: it compensates lateral and part of vertical loads, keeps the engine in correct alignment, and limits engine movement during start-up, acceleration, and gear changes. Wear of this mount typically results in:

• noticeable vibrations felt through the steering wheel and cabin;

• knocking noises during acceleration or load changes;

• displacement of the engine relative to the body;

• accelerated wear of adjacent mounts and transmission components.

The longer the vehicle is operated with a damaged mount, the higher the risk of serious failures, including subframe damage or excessive load on the transmission.

PolyPro offers reconstruction without unnecessary costs

PolyPro specializes in restoring engine mounts by replacing rubber inserts with high-quality polyurethane.

Polyurethane is a next-generation material that significantly outperforms rubber in operational characteristics. Its key advantages include high resistance to friction and mechanical loads, immunity to oils, fuel, chemicals, and moisture, stable shape and stiffness across a wide temperature range, and a service life several times longer than rubber. The restored mount provides more stable engine behavior, improved transmission operation, and comfort close to factory levels.

The customer sends in their original mount, after which we complete the full restoration process and return an updated unit that matches the performance of a new part.

The reconstruction process includes:

• thorough cleaning and inspection of the metal base;

• complete removal of the old elastic material via thermal burnout;

• casting with French three-component hot-cured polyurethane;

• quality control with geometry and stiffness verification;

• final finishing and preparation for installation.

As a result, the owner receives a refurbished mount that retains the factory metal strength while incorporating a modern, load-resistant polyurethane insert.
