I know this is a 2 year old topic, but after some searching, I haven't found much. I just ordered the part for the top motor mount - just the rubber grommet thing, not the torque bar (dog bone thing). However, what I received is much larger than will fit in the torque bar. The invoice says 1997 Lexus ES300 upper motor mount, and the part is about 3" diameter. The existing dog bone hole is only around 2.5". I'm wondering which part is incorrect. This car has a rebuilt title, so it is very possible that the torque bar is wrong. Does anyone have measurements and possibly a picture I can reference? Thanks in advance.

Where do you live? I haven't seen prices under $115 since 1993 and would be happy with anything under $2 at this point. However, like most, I will drive my car and ..., in the infamous words of Jim Carrey, "bend over and take it up the tailpipe!".

Do the flush, it is fairly inexpensive and the peace of mind is well worth it.

I have read that closing the doors by pushing on the windows instead of the door will cause this. The windows should be re-aligned. You could probably do it yourself depending on how into that you are.

Mine - a '97 es300 - has the same problem, horrible. Last night I was trying to use an fm transmitter for my mp3 player and couldn't find 88.3 for the life of me. It is much better in the daylight, but at night with the stereo lit up, it is impossible to distinguish the readout.
