I need motor mounts for my gs400. I check 2 places. Ebay . Comes with the 2 for the motor and the back one. So a set for 170 .. not bad at all. The say high quality a 5 Year Warranty. On partsgeek.com 200 all 4 beck arnley? + shipping a course. Wich ones will be the better ones?
Somebody has the step by step how to replace them? Photos

 

 

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

 

So just call south Atlanta lexus and they said I'm crazy for the 94 bucks motor mounts. They re 130. In Eugene oregon. Have them for 120 a piece. The best price so far in like 8 dealers I call

 

I saw it online, once I get home I'll grab the receipt, I put in the factory part number and it came up online. But let me look it up

 

Ok. Yeah the lady ask me if I was online

Got mine a year ago off ebay ZERO problems, it's a basic part

 

So u mean there's no difference. Are u happy with it. No complaints of those ebay mounts?

 

Looked at the receipt, it was $104 my mistake. Ebay mounts, just need to see how long they last.

 

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?

 

So just had oem mounts replaced today and here are my old ones . Good thing i did them.

 

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.
