did my motor mount disintegrate? not 56k friendly!
My car be a-shaking at 80 mph and over, and I'm trying to narrow down the cause, well I'm kinda curious as to whether or not a bushing is missing from the lower motor mount because it looks like there is a perfect place for one. Just want a quick reply as to whether or not there is something missing or not, because it looks like there is but a picture is worth (and will likely generate) a 1000 words...
It is really only visable on the last picture, the other ones are just for orientating. 93 4cyl
On an ES 300 it looks like this (picture in a few)

You have a broken transaxle mount. You definately need to check every other engine mount also.
That's the best I can do at night, in rain.

It is designed differently, but I'm not so sure yours is suppose to ahve rubber comming out of the top of the mount.
Put something under the mount and see if you can move the transmissin around some.

I'm thinking that it's loose nuts bolts, I'm thinking that I might just retorque everything I can find. Some of the bolts come loose on toyotas and they are supposed to be retightened as part of regular maintenance.
Maybe it's the bearings, but I cannot detect any play pushing the hub in and out., I don't know if there is another way to check for play, or if the hub bearing torqueness matters because I'm not sure if it was tightened to spec.
I just bought me a torque wrench for $12 so after I test it I think I'll use it. I already found one loose bolt on the stabilizer bar.
