Damaged rubber bush, how would it affect my car?
Hello Everyone.
Lately, I have been feeling as if there is some suspended weight in my car's front part as I drive over bumps; it often shakes like it never did before.
I have found a damaged rubber bush on a bar that holds some part of the engine but I am not really sure if this is causing the problem.
Can you please have a look at the picture, I need to know how it would affect the driving experience and should I keep on driving or it's dangerous in some way?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

That's a motor mount. Not a good idea to drive with it broken. If you're handy should be a quick fix. Just a couple of bolts I believe. Check around here and ToyotaNation for a DIY.

I had the same thing happen to mine, except all the rubber actually shattered and felt out. Not great to drive around on forever, however if you need to your engine won't fall out haha. I think a new one can be had for about $60 on Sewell

I would check out other ones as well, front one rear one as they might be in bad shape as well. How many miles on the car? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Engine-Motor-Transmission-Mount-Set-Kit-for-94-96-Camry-ES300-V6-3-0L-AT-Auto-/350891506833?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AES300&hash=item51b2c37c91&vxp=mtr
