Is suggest a factory one, lexus of south Atlanta where I bought mine was only $94. Almost went with beck/arnley but a tech I know talked me out of it. This was a picture of mine after 90k miles and while I can't help you with a diy, most places only charge around $200-350 to replace both not including tranny mount

Damm. That's way bad. Well mine on drivers it's completed shot. I had the hood open. On drive. Press gas pedal and Holly s&!\t . The engine lift on diver's side about 4 inches or so. Way bad. Now I understand all the problems I'm having. Anyways.
So it tech says not to use beck arnley? Why?
Ebay ones says high quality and warranty ?

The tech said not only not last as long, it won't isolate the vibrations very well. He said the ebay ones don't last very long and for about $40-50 more you could have 2 factory ones. I'd i was selling the car id get the cheaper ones but I figured it was only a few more for the factory ones which I've had my car for a while and when these mounts were in good shape, the car really was incredibly smooth

what did u mean. I haven't buy any mounts cause I will like to know u guys experiences or regrets from eBay mounts or Berney mounts. Obviously my mechanic told me to get the oem mounts. But I was thinking to do a little more research. So I bought them on ebay and no regrets at this point right?

All, I was able to get the motor mounts swapped a few weekends back.

Probably ~3 hours from start to finish. I discovered a much easier way to get these out than dropping the subframe. I had to slide the alternator and AC compressor forward, then access was easy.

I made a video and posted it on my youtube channel "Nolan Motorsports" and the video is called "Lexus GS Motor Mount Replacement - Lexus GS400 (1UZ-FE)".

No special tools were required.
