Default Where can i find motor mounts?

I do not want to pay 100$ per motor mount for my sc300.
I have looked through junkyards, and found a whole bunch of motor mounts but the top of them are broken
Some people told me that theres motor mounts online for as cheap as 60$ each but i cannot find any, please help. THANKS

There aren't that many mounts under $100 and the ones that are, they aren't likely going to last long.

Pony up for the OEM. It's not much more than the aftermarket junk anyways. You can save a bit more if you go to the toyota dealership.

toyota mounts will almost if not all the time break off when removing the nut that hold it in place. You should just buy new mounts. Maybe ebay if your trying to find the cheapest.

Also try keyword "engine mount"

Cross reference Supra mounts as another option, I believe they work just fine in SC's.

Are the SC300 mounts different than the SC400 mounts?

Do not skimp on motor mounts. New OEM mounts make the car feel and drive great. You will not be sorry.

Champion Toyota in Houston. You can get any Lexus part...........Ask for Viet

I can't believe some of the posts I see on this site. I know an SC300/400 is old and can be had for cheap but it is not a cheap car to own. It requires quality parts. There are some things you just shouldn't scrimp on. Mounts should be new. Why get old mounts from a junkyard when you'll need to do it all over again because they are old. Why get unknown mounts from a parts garage without knowing their origin and quality.

If you can't handle her, give your car away. I'll take it and treat her right.


PS.........I re-read my post and it sounds too judgemental. Any of us can have a change of finances. My apologies. Let me put it another way.

Do the best you can to get new, Toyota/Lexus mounts, they are well worth it.

I filled my blown stock mounts with urethane, cut off the two studs, drilled completely through it, then ran a single long Grade 8 bolt through the whole thing.... Solid motor mounts for the win....only time you can tell they're solid is when cranking...the 2jz's are so smooth running. Much smoother than the Cusco Solid mounts I had on my SR20.

Yes, those should work for you. You may want to call and verify before you order, because I know there are long mounts and short mounts. I am pretty sure we need short ones for our cars. Those look short to me, but there is no part number to verify.
