Top wishbone engine mount
How simple is this to change , mine looks all cracked up at the bushing and the engine shakes alot on startup. Also when taking off in wet weather the engine will bang when the tires are spinning. Will fixing this mount fix these issues ?
why is this motor mount bad, and how long do they go? I bought my car at 215 and it looks like it was already gone. Is there anyway to prevent damage to the new one I’m gonna have put in ? Is beck arnley an ok brand ? I read on here some guy posted that his motor mounts went bad due to a mechanic jacking up his csr. Do I have to worry about anyone jacking my var up damaging them ? Thanks guys !

I replaced the one on my es300 with a beck and arnley one with no issues yet, but thats a older car so i didn't mind using a cheaper brand. These wear due to heat stressing the bushing material. A new one will probably last you the rest of the life of the car. Lastly, the only way these will get damaged is if a mechanic jacks up the engine without removing the mount first.

Just go to youtube and search "Lexus ES 350 engine mount replacement" there are many instructional videos.
They just wear out and the wishbone is the easiest one to see and replace. One or more of the other mounts is probably bad also. It may be helpful to get a professional analysis.

Don't get this brand Eagle BHP I bought this in Oct-2020. I removed it on Nov-6-2022 while doing some other work. It cracked worse then the original I replaced.
