OK. I have a 93 v6 automatic camry. I just replaced the dogbone last night but when I shift it into D and give it gas the motor jumps up about 2- 2 1/2 inches. Heres what I want to know.
How many mounts do I have and what are they, I have heard of the front mount, the transmission mount, the dog bone, and this hydrolic shock thing, is there a rear thats not a part of the tranny, so what all do I have,

2nd, whats with this window weld 3m stuff, can you do this to all the mounts and is it wise, if so, can you do it to broken mounts or do they have to be new., really confused here want to replace them all I think but dont really want to spend the cash, let me know
thanks

Replace them all.

If you have to do one at a time as your wallet permits, do it that way.

It's best to do them all at once so the new ones dont get too distorted compensating for the bad ones.

Try that

The Nissan guys do it a lot and it's said to be an excellent idea both in theory and execution. This is the next "mod" on my car but as it is time consuming and the WW needs minimum 24 hours curing time plan on having the car off the road for a few days.

This is how some guys get around wasting a few hundred on new mounts for less than 20 bucks- makes your broken mount better than new!

that WW stuff looks like a good idea!

but on another note...
does anyone know where to get a whole set of OEM motor mounts for my Gen2 89 3S-FE camry..?

thanx..

ubongen, other than through toyota (where the total cost for the mounts is b/w 250 and 300), I'm really not too sure but Napa (NO Auto Parts Available), Advance Auto... I had the prices lying around somewhere the side mounts are like 45 a piece, the dogbone around 60-70, and the rear mount was pushing 80

Toyota's aren't getting any cheaper to fix

Even finely aged ones

If you look it up on eBay, there are a couple of people that sell the mounts for fairly cheap...
