How many mounts did you change? You should change 2 engine mounts and the trans mount at this same time

When was the last time you replaced your spark plugs? Are you lowered?

Rarely do 3GS GS350 motor mounts go out, unless you're a really aggressive driver. On higher mileage AWD the front cv axles can wear and cause slack in the transmission causing a vibration at idle.

You can see if the dealer is willing to put the car in idle on a rack and have a tech pin point exactly where the vibration is coming from.

Do you have any oil consumption issues? Have they checked for carbon build up yet? Is the vibration at idle only or when moving

Any resolution for 2007 Lexus gs 350 awd vibration while idle. Been to 3 mechanic shops and I mentioned motor mounts. They said my mounts look good. Can it still be the mounts as the vibration is a pain.

Some say its the torque convertor being very sensitive to the transmission fluid.

Vibration only happens in D, right? It's probably some doohickey in your transmission.
