The Nissan Path

I was interested into what Nissan was up to regarding the 2022+ Frontier.

Following claim: "New hydraulic cab mounts reduce road vibration by 80 percent"

Then I did this:

2005 Nissan Pathfinder
Position #1: 95510-9CA0A (Front Frame - Forward of Suspension)
Position #2: 95520-ZZ50A (Front Cab - Rear of Forward Suspension)
Position #3: 95530-ZE00A (Cab at Door Pillar)
Position #4: 95530-ZE00A (Cab at Rear Door)
Position #5:95550-9FE0A (Rear of Rear Suspension)


2022 Frontier
Position #1: 95510-ZP50B (Front Frame - Forward of Suspension)
Position #2: 95550-9FE0A ( (Front Cab - Rear of Forward Suspension) = Position #5 R51
Position #3: 95520-9CA0A (Cab at rear Door Pillar)

I'm not sure where the new mounts improve? The two cab mounts, look like old parts that have been around for awhile...

"Hydraulic" would indicate there's some sort of mechanized wizardry built into the mounts where the body bushings go into which I've yet to hear any youtuber mention. Going to guess it's a Nissan marketing ploy full of BS.

Hydraulic motor mounts have an internal cavity inside of them filled with liquid. It's usually a mix of glycol and water. There's no "mechanical wizardry." Nissan has used electric motor mounts on some Maximas in the past. They were used on the back side of the engine to tilt up the engine as needed. I've replaced a couple of them.

Pneumatic ones too, on the Murano and some later Maxes. One of them on a Murano created one of the hardest-to-track-down whistling noises I ever had the displeasure to diagnose.

Does Nissan sometimes get carried away with weird and unnecessary tech? Umm.... yah.
