Strange Sound at Rest
Hi,
I have a 2005 LS 430 and the car vibrated at rest. It sounds like it was getting ready to cut off and it was right beneath my driver side. The lexus dealership told me it was the left and right motor mounts. I had my reliable mechanic change them, I ordered the parts online from a lexus dealer, and the noise/sensation still persists.
Has anyone else had this problem?

No, I just took the suggestion of the Lexus Dealer and didn't ask the mechanic to give me his read on the issue. I am so mad right now because the issue is not fixed. It feels like the muffler or something but this is from someone who knows nothing about cars. Is this an option?

Did you look at the tachometer to see if the RPM dropped excessively? Say, below 500RPM? If so, put the car in "N" to see if the vibration improves.
I would also check the condition of the 3rd mount at the end of the transmission.

I had an old Mercedes where this happened, I changed out the motor mounts etc. but it ended up being one of the coil packs causing it. Changed my plugs, wires, and coils and it was smooth again.
I'm assuming these cars are way more sophisticated than that old banger so it would throw a code to tell you this if it was so, but just sharing

Did the characteristic of the vibration change after you replaced the motor mounts?
Yes, the vibration did change after the left and right motor mounts were changed.

I will test and see .
