How to check the engine mount of a Toyota Camry

One of the important factors in the comfortable operation of a vehicle is the serviceability of the car. Many people believe that comfort is ensured only by the presence of additional elements in the design. In fact, not only noise insulation, but also vibration insulation plays an important role. However, if the car is used for a long time, engine vibration may still be present. This is due to wear and tear on the engine mounts that need to be replaced. The main task of the supports is to fix the engine and, accordingly, provide better performance during vehicle operation. It is very important to maintain your car in proper technical condition.

I am selling an engine mount for a Toyota Camry 40 body, 3.5 l, produced from 2006-2011. Bottom right. Original Toyota 100%.

Especially carrying out work

At first glance, it may seem that this type of work is carried out without any difficulties. Actually this is not true. Only qualified specialists or those people who have already performed the replacement and, accordingly, have understood all the nuances, do not encounter any problems when replacing engine mounts. If you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to go to a service station, where the technicians will diagnose the vehicle and replace the component quickly. In addition, the wear of the car engine mount allows the vehicle to be used for a short period of time. Therefore, at a speed of 60 km/h you can reach the service center.

By treating your car responsibly, you can rest assured that it will work without any problems.

Toyota Camry engine mount

The model range of this car was produced from 2006 to 2011. Unlike the 50 model, this line is represented by engines with a volume of 2.0 l, 2.4 l, as well as a V-shaped 6-cylinder engine with a volume of 3.5 l. Below we will talk about how to change the front airbag on a Camry.

Main causes of malfunction

If obvious vibration of the body of a Toyota Camry is detected, it is necessary to find out its cause. This is often due to failure of the engine mounts.

A cushion (support, as it is also called) is a rubber-metal product that has several chambers, one of which is hermetically sealed with oil liquid.

The location is similar, for example, to the device in model 50 cars. The design of the machine provides 3 supports:

The Camry has a hydraulic front airbag. The oil poured into the support performs the work according to the damper principle.

The main causes of failure are: rubber delamination and oil leakage.

It is quite easy to determine the malfunction; to do this, you need to drive onto an inspection ditch or overpass and inspect the support. If you find traces of leakage and peeling of rubber, then the engine mount needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, support problems occur quite often in 40 and 50 model cars.

Replacing a Toyota Camry engine mount

If a defect is identified, it is necessary to carry out work to replace the failed part. There is no need to remove the motor to replace the mount. The Camry 40 model front engine mount is designed to secure the front of the engine to the beam. Replacement work will not be difficult. For greater convenience, it is better to place the car on the inspection hole.

First of all, unscrew the engine crankcase protection; for convenience and more space, remove the air filter air intake. Our support is attached with three studs to the beam and one to the internal combustion engine.

If you are an inexperienced specialist, we recommend that you slightly jack up the engine; this is done to prevent the engine from sagging.

However, experienced locksmiths do without this procedure.

Next, you need to unscrew the nuts securing the support using a curved spanner. To remove the support, unscrew the engine mounting bracket. After replacement, we reassemble all parts in the reverse order. As you understand, there is nothing complicated in removing the support on Toyota Camry cars. By the way, in 50 model cars, work on replacing the support is performed similarly to this procedure.

Now let's move on to the selection of spare parts, their types and the main features of purchasing the necessary part.

Necessary auto parts

Today, buying auto parts for a Toyota car will not be difficult, since Toyota models have an extensive dealer network throughout the country.

At official Toyota service stations there is a spare parts department where you can easily purchase parts for any model, be it 30, 40 or 50.

If you are having your car repaired at a service station, the supplier of spare parts may be a car service store, or you can order them yourself from an online store. There are original auto parts, as well as their analogues from various manufacturers.

The original number of our pillow: 12361-28220.

There are also analogs from various manufacturers: Febest, Fenox, VTR and others. The difference in price is noticeable, approximately twice. Let's figure out which one we should buy. The original product is always of high quality, and its service life is much longer.

Another advantage of the purchase is the warranty on the auto parts. When purchasing alternative options, you are not always provided with a warranty for the auto part, and the product often wears out quite quickly. The quality of workmanship will also differ significantly.

So we advise you to still buy original auto parts.

To summarize, we can say one thing: for long-term and repair-free operation of the car, use only original auto parts. Good luck, and may your car break down less often.

Procedure for installing new cushions

Modern cars can have up to five airbags. Here we are talking about right, left, front, rear, as well as lower and upper, located in the front. The general principle of replacement is the same everywhere, but it may differ depending on the design features of the vehicle. Initially, you always need to determine how worn the component is. To determine which components are damaged, you need to remove the accompanying structural elements from the hood.

Once you gain access to the engine mounts, you need to take care of safety. To do this, you need to disconnect the battery terminals. Next, the vehicle is raised using a jack. The algorithm of actions when replacing car engine mounts is as follows:

1. Carrying out work on unscrewing the component fastening nuts and bolts.
2. Unscrewing the bolts that secure the bracket.
3. Removing the bracket and installing a new part.
4. Assembly of the entire structure.

Rear suspension of Toyota Camry

The rear suspension of the Toyota Camry is the connecting link between the wheels and the body. It operates in an aggressive external environment and can withstand prolonged loads. The rear suspension is quite reliable. Malfunctions in it are relatively less common than in the front. A clunking noise from the rear is one of the main problems that most often arise in the rear suspension during acceleration.

The causes and methods for eliminating this malfunction (knocking from behind) are given in the table:

Cushion and engine mounts for Toyota Camry 40: replacement

While I was writing, I realized that this time I didn’t unscrew the rear airbag (only available on cars with manual transmission) :))))) I just forgot about it.

That's probably what it's all about. But still, one question remains - is it necessary to unscrew the plug from the manifold? In theory, the corrugation is slightly movable. But is this enough for the rise? Share who pulled it out how.

The top one can be changed without any problems; you don’t need to jack anything. Today I repressed the silent in it. Came out at about 7 tons. Installed RBI T09C04B. Let's see.

Before pressing out, do not forget to put marks so that later you can install the silencer correctly.

But without any deformation for the pillow.

Engine mount replacement process

1. We remove the protection from the engine to make it easier to reach the necessary parts. First of all, you need to fix the engine with a jack; this can be easily done in the inspection hole by placing a crossbar from a large board so that it supports part of the weight of the engine. This is done so that when you unscrew the support, the engine will sag and there will be nothing to support it.
2. Raising the engine as much as possible so that it is convenient to unscrew the mounting bolts, remove the mount. In the reverse order, we install the new pillow, tighten the bolts well and move on to the rear pillow, this is where the dance with the tambourine begins, since as the car moves, it bears the heaviest load. As a result, not only the fastener itself, which is not the same in shape as the previous ones, bends, but also the fastening bolts are deformed.
3. It will no longer be possible to lift the engine; it is better to tie it to a beam from above or put a crossbar on the glasses and tie the engine to it, having previously lifted it with a jack. Some vehicles will require you to remove pants or other parts that may interfere with replacement. If the fastening bolt is severely deformed, you will have to cut it off with a grinder, otherwise there is no way to unscrew it, some drivers straighten the bolt, but this does not last long, after a while you will have to align it again or replace it with a new one.
4. In order to remove the cushion from its seat, lubricate it with oil or WD-40; often, due to dirt, the cushion can simply rust to the frame. An important point is the installation; on the rear cushion there is a guide, or in other words, an arrow that indicates the direction of movement of the car; it should not be confused, as after a while it may break again. Having assembled everything in reverse order, we move on to the right engine mount. This support also has a problem with deformed bolts, but the main problem is the generator or air conditioning compressor. As we remember, it is not recommended to remove the air conditioning compressor, since as a result of depressurization all the freon will come out, and refilling will cost even more than the airbags and replacement.
5. If you decide to change the engine mounts at a service station, do not be lazy to check the operation of the air conditioner or whether there is pressure in it after repair, since unscrupulous workers, in order to save time, can simply remove the compressor and hide this from you. For most foreign cars, the right airbag is located closer to the right front, so the right headlight and radiator grill are often removed, thus simplifying the replacement procedure.
6. Having made room for removing the cushion, we are faced with the problem of deformation of the bolts; there is no way to cut it with an angle grinder, as it can damage adjacent parts or you simply won’t be able to reach the bolts. I would advise you to take a hacksaw and slowly cut off the bolt; although the procedure is long, it will still not damage the adjacent parts. Having removed the pillow, install a new one in the reverse order; be careful with the radiator, as you can cut your hands on its honeycomb.
