Confused about my motor and transmission mounts.
Hi everyone, I wanted to know which mount is my driver side and which one is the passenger side one. Also, I'm aware that there are 2 engine mounts and it's in front of the engin . But when I go to search it up on rockauto or any other parts site it only shows one engine mount and only says front right. Should I then order 2 of the same engine mounts and then 1 trans mount? Last question is that the genuine mounts have some sort of sensor on them. I wanted to know if we can use a mount with no sensor and have no signs on dash light up. The ones with no sensors are better priced. Anyone have an es350 that has motor mounts that were replaced with mounts that had no mounts.

There’s the dogbone mount on top which is easy to see and get to, the one with the sensor in the front, and the left and right which I believe are the transmission mounts. When I replaced the one with the sensor, I realized that the wire connection had been torn at some point and I never got a check engine light.
I actually have the left and right for sale on the classifieds here if you need them. I was going to use them but couldn’t find a tutorial on how to do it. I’ve sold the car since.

Driver side: 12372-31010; Replaced by: 12372-0P010. Aftermarket: DEA A4288; Westar EM9236
Pass side: 12362-31040. Aftermarket: DEA A62036HY; Westar EM9238
Front: 12361-31170; Replaced by: 12361-31171. No aftermarket vendor available when I got ours.
Strut (dog bone): 12363-0P141. Lots of aftermarket vendors. I got the one for a Camry; it is cheaper because it does not accommodate the engine cover, which I threw out many years ago.

Thank you guys for the help. This is my first "luxury" car so I didn't wanna screw my parts up. I got my mounts checked from a mechanic and turns out everything except the dogbone is bad. But the front one with the sensor is not too bad and I saw myself. My mechanic recommended it can go another 2 years. So I got the trans mount and engine mount online from RockAuto and got a brand called beck/arnley. Will update you guys once I get them replaced and get an alignment. Appreciate the help.

Just a little advice. I recently replaced the dogbone mount. If you want to save money the part is pretty cheap on Amazon and I believe there are 2 bolts keeping it down. Took me around 10 minutes to change. You could save money in the future by replacing it yourself.

Thank you! I'm going to hold off on the dogbone mount for now. I agree it is easy and I'll probably end up doing it at home. I'm probably gonna buy mine from auto zone. Its like $50. Never really had good luck with parts from Amazon and Ebay with past cars.

Remember the dog bond for the Camry is cheaper because it does not have the pedestal for the engine plastic covers - which I recommend you discard because they trap heat and, more importantly, they obscure any obvious problems from view - leaking hoses, split vacuum lines, rats chewing on wiring, etc...

I just got the one for the ES350. I wanted to keep my covers on. I have some sense to tell if my cars sound rather odd than usual because of a leaking hose or maybe there's a sensor light or engine light on. Just my preference to keep it on, I like the look of it.
