Motor Mount Replacement?/80k Miles

[chuckb]

Has anyone replaced motor mounts on '95 es 300? How many are there including trans mounts ?

How many labor hrs should I expect.

Thanks

Also-just curious? How long do your motor mounts usually last?

[chuckb]

Am I the only one w/this prob?

I searched on "DOGBONE", a common name for the one motor mount on the ES that is user replaceable. I searched: 365 days and newer and in ES forum. These threads came up.

95es 300-80k

I didn't think it was the dog bone again because I changed it a few years ago. Turns out I changed it 3 & 1/2 yrs ago and it was totally shot(BIGTIME) again.

Got part from my buddy today at toyota (Part #12363-62020) for $35 and fixed it in 10 minutes.

Here what I have had to repair in 3.5years and 43,000 miles(car had 37k when I bought)

CV joints

brakes

Engine move rod(Dogbone) twice

Replace power antenna

AC expansion valve(started blowing warm out of driver side vents before it totally went) Even when it did go,it would work fine until you drove for about an hour.

Thats it. Not bad.

How do you guys compare?

the oem dog bone doesn;t last long

get it checked or see how to check it yourself in the other threads with pics

I got tired of replacing mine so i made urethane ones which last and are much stronger
