Question about motor mounts

[Mandara]

I have a 94 XLE V6 that needs motor mounts replaced. There is frequent "clunking" while accelerating and slowing down to a stop. There is also some engine vibration when the car is idle or at a stoplight.

I took my car into a local shop yesterday and was told that I need the front and rear motor mounts replaced. The cost to replace including labor is $300 for the front and the rear, $400.

This morning I called another mechanic (toyota specialist) to get another estimate and he told me the V6 model of my vehicle does not have a rear motor mount and only a bushing(?) in the back that would be replaced. The estimate he gave was $300 to replace the front mount and $150 for the rear "bushing".

Obviously the second estimate is cheaper but, can anyone confirm this for me? Also, if I do have front AND rear mounts, is $700 a fair price to replace them?

The front mount is hydraulic in design and replaced as a complete unit.

The rear mount incorporates a replaceable pressed in bushing. The bushing is pressed into the motor mount.

You can buy both front mount and rear bushing for around $130 mail order less shipping. Would assume the shop get their parts for around the same price.

The rear one would need to be removed to change the bushing.

Thus the $450 price appears more reasonable.
