1995 LS

Looking to replace the both Engine & transmission mounts on my LS. I've shopped around for diferrent prices and all had exceded what I 've found on Ebay. $175 for both tranny-engine mounts, shipping included. These are non OEM.

It's a bit of a task to change to engine mounts. I'd go OEM.

If I could get OEM at reasonable price I would go that way but right now this is the best I've found for both mounts.....

I'm pretty sure I paid 180 for the engine mounts and 40 for the trans. That's not too far off.

Lexchamp,

I've not had experience with aftermarket motor and tranny mounts (I replaced mine with OEM), but I've tried other aftermarket bushings, shocks, UCA's and I've learned the hard way to always use OEM when its available as long as the pricing for OEM isn't totally rediculous. Especially when the labor to replace the part(s) is a significant portion of the job. When this is the case, I don't want to pay for (or perform) labor two or three times to repeatedly replace aftermarket / defective parts.

I'd pay the $100 extra for the three OEM mounts if you can swing it...

Thanxxxxx everyone. I took your advice & bought the OEM Mounts from Park Place Lexus at $245 with free shipping. Orders over $100 included the shipping. It should arrive in a few days. Better to be safe than sorry. Thanks
