Engine rocking - Broken Flex Pipe - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So the title pretty much says it all. A couple of years ago I had the entire header replaced now the flex pipe is leaking. Took it to the muffler shop spent 140 replacing one of the flex pipes. The guy there said the bad engine mount is causing the pipes to break/leak. So are there two mounts on the bottom? I already replaced the dogbone one and another one. How much should it cost me in labor to replace the bottom one(s)?

There are 4 mounts. Dog bone, front emgine mount, rear engine mount, and the transmission mount. IMO the best thing to do, really, is replace all the mounts together. Yes, it'll be more expensive, but that way you can be sure all the mounts are good.

I have no idea what the labor will cost, because that depends on where you go to get that done.
