Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2007Help with rumbling noise from 1992 SE-R
Recently bought a 1992 Sentra SE-R and wanted to ask if anyone has any ideal about a rumbling noise/vibration I am getting. The car has over 200K on it but I recently had the valve cover off and it is pretty clean internally. No smoke, pulls hard still and most everything still works: Cruise, A/C, Sunroof, trans does not pop out of 5th, etc. But I get a rumbling vibration under the floor beneath the driver when accelerating through the 1500 - 3000 RPM range. As if something is loose hitting the floorboard. I checked the exhaust and it is not the problem. I did notice the boot on the driver's side of the rack and pinion is ruptured but did not think that would be the problem. Before I took it to a mechanic, I would like to have some ideal what it could be so that if he suggests a fix, I will know that makes sense. Any suggestions as to what I could check would be appreciated. I am mechanically inclined but did not want to "Easter Egg" fixes. Also if there is anywhere (online maybe) I can get door hinges for less than the $50 the local dealer is asking that info would be appreciated also. Mike G.

In the older V-8's you would simply put the car in drive and rev the engine while holding the brake and see if the engine lifted from one side. Is there a simple way to check these mounts? > Have you checked the engine/transmission mounts? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> Mike G. You could check them the same way. Of course you need a helper. > Is there an easy to check them. From the bottom of the car they look OK. > Not sure what to look for.

Enjoy your SE-R (i've owned a 1992 SE-R for that last 14 years, and its still a joy to drive) Also when you replace your door hinges take the fender off (only about 7 bolts and it makes lining the door up so easy!) Good luck!! >> Recently bought a 1992 Sentra SE-R and wanted to ask if anyone has any >> ideal about a rumbling noise/vibration I am getting.

Oopss!! forgot the link https://www.1stnissanparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html Replaced the front and rear transaxle mounts. I think the actual problem was with the front mount. The rear mount was in good shape, the front was in bad shape. I changed them both and the rumbling is all but gone. Thanks to all that replied. > Recently bought a 1992 Sentra SE-R and wanted to ask if anyone has any > ideal about a rumbling noise/vibration I am getting.
