2016 Nissan Altima Engine & Transmission Mount Torque Specs

OEM-referenced torque, socket, and thread specs for the 3 engine and transmission mount fasteners on the 2016 Nissan Altima — including the Engine Mount Bolt (Rear) (torques to 40-58 ft-lbs (54-79 Nm), 17mm socket, M12x1.25 thread). Replacing a broken or collapsed motor mount is one of the most common vibration fixes; get the torque right so the new mount seats square. Full bolt specs for the rest of the vehicle are linked below.

Engine / Motor Mounts torque — 2016 Nissan Altima

On the 2016 Nissan Altima, the engine / motor mounts are: Engine Mount Bolt (Rear) (torques to 40-58 ft-lbs (54-79 Nm), 17mm socket, M12x1.25 thread); Engine Mount Bolt (Front) (torques to 40-58 ft-lbs (54-79 Nm), 17mm socket, M12x1.25 thread). Powertrain mount bolts are usually torque-to-yield or thread-locked from the factory — replace any single-use bolt, and confirm the value against your service manual before reassembly.

Transmission Mounts torque — 2016 Nissan Altima

On the 2016 Nissan Altima, the transmission mounts are: Transmission Mount Bolt (torques to 30-40 ft-lbs (40-54 Nm), 14mm socket, M10x1.25 thread). Powertrain mount bolts are usually torque-to-yield or thread-locked from the factory — replace any single-use bolt, and confirm the value against your service manual before reassembly.

How to replace and torque Altima engine & transmission mounts

Support the engine (or transmission) from below with a jack and a block of wood, or from above with an engine support bar, before unbolting any mount — the powertrain will drop otherwise. Replace mounts one at a time so the others hold alignment. Raise or lower the powertrain until the new mount's bolt holes line up WITHOUT prying, then start every bolt by hand to avoid cross-threading. Make the final pass with a calibrated torque wrench, and let the powertrain settle onto all mounts before the last torque check. A mount torqued while the engine is jacked off-center pre-loads the rubber and transmits vibration.
