Engine vibration? Mount replacement?

When you say the rear mount, do you mean the one pictured below?

Are you able to get a picture of the one you are looking for because there are transmission mounts that are also called the rear mounts. So getting a picture of the one you are looking for will be the best way to ensure we get you the correct info.

However, Toyota did not supply procedures just for the mounts so they are part of other processes but I am sure we can get you the info that you are looking for.

Also, here is a guide that will help with the thought process on replacing these:

Common issue for this issue is a worn motor mount and the engine moves and makes this noise. Have someone check the transmission mounts to be sure they are not broken or worn. There is one on the top of the transmission and one on the bottom.

Here are all of the engine mounts torque specs

Engine mounting insulator RH x Transverse engine engine mounting bracket 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting insulator RH x Body 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting member sub-assy center x Body 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting insulator RR x Engine mounting bracket RR 87 Nm (887 kgf-cm, 64 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting insulator RR x Suspension member 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting insulator FR x Engine mounting bracket FR 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting bracket LH x Transaxle 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting insulator LH x Body Bolt A 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting insulator LH x Engine mounting bracket LH Nut B 80 Nm (815 kgf-cm, 59 ft. Lbs.)
Engine mounting bracket FR x Transaxle 64 Nm (652 kgf-cm, 47 ft. Lbs.)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Possibly you can move ac unit slightly with jack or 2x4 since engine is slightly flexible on it's mounts? On some cars it will move an inch or more.

Yes you must drop the subframe. It is held in place with about 6-8 bolts, and you must disconnect the lower ball joints ( just remove the 3 bolts that hold the BJ to the control arm), and the center and front motor mount bolts.
This is a heavy item, so use a floor jack. The rear mount is the hardest one to remove as compared to the rest.

There is a cover under the engine bay this is removed first, the front engine mount bolts to the centre frame running for and aft. There should be a plastic cover over the bolt holes remove this and with a jack and a block of wood supporting the sump undo these 2 bolts, lift engine just a little and undo mount bolts on block and remove mount.

Hi there,

As you have change the mounts, there may be a bit of miss alignment some where, as a first easy thing to do, try backing off all the engine mount bolts, just have them finger tight, go for a quiet drive up and down the street use the brakes harder than normal (not to lock up a wheel) and this may settle the engine and trans into a normal position taking any tension out of the mounts. Do up all mounts and test drive.
