How do you change the motor mount on the timing belt side (dog bone)? I have a slight vibration at idle while in drive and completly stopped. I looked at the rubber on the dog bone and noticed cracks. The car is a 2000 camry 4-cyl. with 58000 original one-owner miles. Should I be concerned about the other mounts or not?


Thanks.

 

This engine has always had some vibration at idle.

Watch the engine for excess movement while someone guns the throttle.

The mount is held on by one bolt at each end going through the rubber bushing, easy to replace.

 

Well today I just replaced the "dog-bone" motor mount purchased from the Toyota dealership. It was easy to replace. But, the vibration is still there. In fact the vibration is slightly worse. I AM PUZZLED!! This car only has 58k original owner miles and I can't get rid of this stupid vibration. I can't imagine the front and rear mount might need replacing at 58k? The car is a 2000 model 4-cyl. Camry and is 11 years old. Someone please help me get rid of this vibration at idle while the car is stopped and in drive or reverse!!

 

What's the idle RPM when in gear?

 

i have the same problem with my 09. not sure... my friend says it is normal for a 4 cylinder, but i dont think so... i guess a test drive of another one is in order
