Default Where to buy Motor Mounts

So it appears that I need to buy new motor mounts for my 99 SC300 . Apparently no local auto store carries these on hand so I need to order them from somewhere . What is the best place to get these online? This may be a dumb question but it is 2 correct? Left and right?

Thanks in advance for the insight guys!!!

I Know, I was pointing out that the Tranny mounts were cheap, so the motor mounts probably will be as well.

Oh sorry yea the trans mount is cheap and most likely is bad as well, I think I paid 175 or so for the set of motor mounts iirc

Thanks for the help guys! Does anyone have the part number for both mounts. I am a complete novice when it comes to repairs and I feel like I search on those sites for motor mounts and I get a couple different options. Not sure exactly what I am looking for.

Basically I have a 99 SC300 with 175K miles on it. Shakes and vibrates like hell when stopped but if I put it into neutral it stops shaking. From popular opinion it seems like the mounts are the issue.

It's easy if you have a jack ans basic hand tools. I would have charged 1 hour labor at our shop so 75.00, I doubt I would pay anybody to do something so simple.

Well keep in mind I am a COMPLETE novice when it comes to this stuff. I just don't understand why the lowest estimate was still quoting me at 5 hours of labor.....

Simple, They are ripping you off! See if there is a club lexus member near you that could either point you to a honest mechanic or maybe do it for you for a reasonable cost, I would say you are looking in all the wrong places as those are insane quotes!

We willl pull rwd engines in the shop I worked in for years for 600.00 which would include putting it back in so maybe look for an indi service shop as well.
