This video will show you how to replace the engine and transmission mounts on a 2003 Toyota Camry with the 2AZ-FE I4 engine. The mount layout design for this Camry is also shared with the Toyota Avalon, Venza, Sienna, RAV4, Highlander and Lexus ES330 / ES350. Mount replacement on Toyota's 2GR-FE can be found here: • Toyota / Lexus Engine ... The four replacement mounts were part of a complete replacement kit. The replacement of these parts require no special tools outside of jack stands and a hydraulic jack.
Engine and transmission mounts will exhibit signs of wear when a clunking sound or rattling noise is noticed during acceleration from a dead stop (engine torque pulling on the front worn out mount), the torque rod bushings being broken or excessive vibration while driving the car. The front motor mount takes the most stress. Simple test: With the hood open and the engine running, have someone observe the engine (looking at it from the side of the car). Place the transmission in drive, use your left foot to apply the brakes (also use the parking brakes) and rev the engine with your right foot. If your partner sees the engine tilting up a lot during the rev up, the front mount is considered shot. It's normal for it to tilt a little but not a lot. If the front mount is really bad, the sides are probably stressed out as well to compensate for the worn out front mount. Also, worn mounts will place stress on your exhaust down pipe and could wear out its flex pipe resulting in exhaust leaks and noise.
