I replaced my engine/trans mounts on my 2005 Camry at 100,000 miles/17 years. The result was no more steering wheel vibration at 60 mph+ highway driving. I went OEM on all mounts.

15:00-15:16: "Don't give up though..." -- I don't know who needs to hear this but this is the best advice you could get at a basic level. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to give up working on cars with rusted parts, rounded bolt heads and stuck brake drums. I forced myself to continue and I'm a better mechanic because of it. If you're new to turning a wrench (and I still consider myself very new) it's important to persevere. Be smart but intentional about troubleshooting difficult problems. Too many KZbin videos out there mislead people into thinking everything just comes apart and back together without struggle. In my experience, there is ALWAYS struggle. Even outside the rust belt. I love this channel!

[@danieloltmans475]

I’m sure a number of people have already mentioned it but there is no substitute for OEM engine mounts. I changed the front engine mount and torque strut on my 2010 Camry using aftermarket mounts and was back to square one a year later. Yeah, the Toyota mounts cost more but they are still going strong 100,000miles later.

[@LAactor]

This is true. Plus all the scam places always try to do it knowing it's an easy money maker every time. This is why you always avoid quick lube places. They'll charge you $100 for an annual aftermarket dog one but you can get a $120 from the dealer and do it yourself and never again deal with it

[@alexwill3722]

You know f 3:09 or sure that the Toyota parts are exactly the right size which can be critical in some cases. Like most things the old saying " you get ehat you pay for " applies. I'm doing my front brakes and rotors. The Toyota parts are not much more than the few top quality aftermarket parts but I know that they will fit right and how long they will last. I have a Highlander I don't need semi metallic pads and drilled and slotted rotors.

[@harveysmith100]

I have a 33 year old Toyota Land Cruiser, 200'000 miles, maybe I should change mine! To be honest I have only owned it for 12 years so they may have been done before. I have done the transmission mount. 100% agree with the quality of Toyota mounts, really well made. The quality of rubber has huge variations.

[@SW20FL]

I sell thousands of aftermarket motor mounts every month. I’ve been doing it for 7 years. I use them in my car too. Here’s what I’ve learned: ALL VEHICLES ARE DIFFERENT, but the general lifespan is about 6 years. Some people get 2, others get 10. A few get much more out of the less important mounts. My 97 Honda Civic still has the original rear engine mount and transmission mount, and they are still in good shape. The others need replacement after approximately 5 years. OEM is *almost* always the best you can get, but depending on the vehicle brand, you could pay dearly for them. For many DIYers, OEM may not be worth the cost IF the job is easy. If you take your car to the mechanic and pay for labor, the only way I’d recommend aftermarket is if the shop buys the mount on their account and guarantees the work. Let the mechanic deal with the warranty. Their suppliers can get the parts faster, and labor is covered. Sometimes aftermarket is the better deal, but make sure to factor in labor costs! OEM lasts longer than aftermarket. Nothing wrong with aftermarket , but it depends on how much you’re willing to spend and how easy or hard the job is because you probably will change it sooner. In Mitsubishi’s case, we’ve had people with 2 year old vehicles with ALL broken OEM mounts already and it became a normal occurrence. In that case, just buy aftermarket 😂. OEM Toyota/Lexus mounts are good quality. We rarely have complaints about excessive vibration from any engine bigger than a 4 cylinder. V6 and V8 engines are just naturally smoother. You can get away with replacing 1 mount, as long as you didn’t drive your car for years (which most people do anyways) with the bad mount. This ruins the other mounts. Almost every car will wear out the main engine mount first, which is closest to the timing cover. For Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura, the front mount. The mount in this location usually bears most of the weight and torque, hence why it wears faster. Your driving style MATTERS. Flooring it from a stoplight (obviously) puts a lot of stress on your mounts. If oil is leaking directly onto your mounts, they absolutely will not last very long at all. Fix the leak. If you are tightening a bolt that is embedded into the rubber, don’t drive it down with damn impact! If you stretch or twist the rubber while tightening the bolt, the mount will stiffen up and cause vibration issues. If you drive a luxury car, I would also think twice about aftermarket mounts. If you are picky/particular about your ride, just spend the money and get OEM. Electric cars have drive unit (motor) mounts too. Not sure of how often they need to be replaced(don’t have much experience with them yet), but they do fail.

[@MohammedJobori]

I have Question, i have 2010 corolla and the mounts wear Quickly , i replaced passenger engine mounts twice and the Gearbox mount also failed , Does bad roads have any thing to do with mounts? Because i live in a country with very dumpy roads .

[@SW20FL]

@@MohammedJobori Rough roads on a transversely mounted engine in the Corolla can definitely affect the lifespan of the engine mounts.. Gearbox mount for a 2010 Corolla is common. I get orders for just that mount quite often.....much more often than gearbox mounts for other makes/models, so that's normal for that specific car. The passenger's side mount is the main mount, and it normally wears faster than the other mounts, however you should get at least 5 years of use without issue.

2023 TACOMA Engine Mount - Hi there. My first ever Toyota! I purchased a brand new ‘23 Tacoma last February and with less than 3,500 miles I had to replace the driver side engine mount after hunting down an increasingly loud squeak/creak. After replacement the truck was back to new! However, I should’ve had the dealership replace them as a set because less than 2 ,500 miles later the passenger side became a squeaking/creaking issue. The dealership agreed that the issue was the already worn and cracked passenger side engine mount. Again, the replaced mount totally stopped the issue. I asked the service writer if there was any sort of service bulletin or an updated part number for the replacement mount. “No” on both questions. On the paperwork from the dealership I noticed that the tech replaced the passenger side mount but noted a noisy driver’s side mount and now that the passenger side has been quieter down I DEFINITELY hear the beginning of the same increasingly loud squeak/creak from the driver’s side. What’s going on with the Toyota engine mounts?!

[@michaelbelliveau6232]

So I just finished this job on a 2003 Highlander Limited V6. The 2003 Highlander Limited does have a rear mount that needs to also be unbolted in order to get enough engine lift to replace the passenger side mount. Thanks Amd for this video.

Thank you for the great video. Very detailed, great video quality and you have a calming way of presenting the information. I have a 2003 Camry with 76K miles (I'm the original owner). I just noticed the bushing on the torque strut is partially cracked. When I put it in gear, I do see some rocking. So I plan on replacing that. My question is, what is the likelihood that the other mounts are bad since it's a low-mileage car and has been driven responsibly? Other than removing the other mounts and wagging the top bolt around, how else can I determine if they are bad (e.g. install a new strut and see how the difference in how the engine responds, etc.). Thanks again for the A - grade video.

[@wernerdanler2742]

Watching KZbin videos about cars can sometimes save you lots of money. I saw several about changing motor mounts on mercedes E320, v6s. Most said you need this special handy-dandy tool they happened to be selling for 99.99 in order to change the left mount from the front. I happened to see one video where the guy unhooked the exhaust pipe from the manifold, and it gave easy access to the top bolt with a regular wrench from the backside. When I had to have mine done, I told the mechanic about that, and he had it done in just a few minutes. You saved that customer a lot of money not doing this by the book even though it was a little difficult getting that mount out your way. I don't have a car right now, but when I am in a position to buy another one, I will try to get a Lexus even though I really liked my Mercedes. To bad I'm so far away from you.😢 I'm in Vegas. 😊😊😊 I forgot to ask. Are those oil filled mounts or solid rubber? 🤔
