15:00-15:16: "Don't give up though..." -- I don't know who needs to hear this but this is the best advice you could get at a basic level. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to give up working on cars with rusted parts, rounded bolt heads and stuck brake drums. I forced myself to continue and I'm a better mechanic because of it. If you're new to turning a wrench (and I still consider myself very new) it's important to persevere. Be smart but intentional about troubleshooting difficult problems. Too many YouTube videos out there mislead people into thinking everything just comes apart and back together without struggle. In my experience, there is ALWAYS struggle. Even outside the rust belt. I love this channel!

I replaced my engine/trans mounts on my 2005 Camry at 100, 000 miles/17 years. The result was no more steering wheel vibration at 60 mph+ highway driving. I went OEM on all mounts.

This is real time, mechanic struggle/grind. Ive watch plenty of mechanic/how-to videos and they typically fast forward or skip the full demonstration of the most difficult part. Appreciate this in-depth video. 😊

This is why engineers should be required to service and fix their own creation once or twice a year, then they will learn what a “masterpiece” they have created.

I just booked an appointment with the Car Care Nut on December 21 to fix my back windshield shade on my Toyota Avalon. I’m excited and hope I don’t get star struck. 😂

AMAZING: My 2008 Camry had a weird vibration and TCCN replaced ALL with OEM mounts. Drives beautifully, purrs. I called this job "Cracker Jack" since there apparently were suprises inside. ADM is a superior perfectionist, drills down to find the root cause & resolve. It was an honor for TCCN to do this job, can't wait till he inspects my 2007 Highlander !!! BRAVO, how does the world clone your morality & ethics !!!

Work in cars with bottoms full of corrosion is a real pita. Hats off to you.

[douglaskaye]

This guy is the best as well as having patience from God. I do enjoy his videos

[cwstout]

Your shop is so clean it could be used as an operating room. Great content as usual.

[jdmckelvey]

I appreciate you putting in full effort to attach the dust covers correctly even though they came in wrong.

[marcvalme]

I really really appreciate this video not making it look super easy, your frustrations even as an experienced technician make it so relatable.

[denvernn]

Your standard of repair and advice for us consumers are top shelf! Well done sir.

[danieloltmans]

I’m sure a number of people have already mentioned it but there is no substitute for OEM engine mounts. I changed the front engine mount and torque strut on my 2010 Camry using aftermarket mounts and was back to square one a year later. Yeah, the Toyota mounts cost more but they are still going strong 100, 000miles later.

I had to disconnect those exact motor mounts to replace a bent lower control arm. They were rusty after 14 years but still intact. Thanks for showing how to replace all of them. So appreciated!

[bigdaddyc]

Master mechanic at work is amazing to see and appreciate.

[gilowens]

I absolutely appreciate your channel.

Only suggestion I have is that you wear safety glasses. Those safety squints are a little less effective.

[callmebackfriday]

Now I am not afraid of replacing Motor /Engine Mounts. Thanks for the video. (always).

[terrysennhenn]

Another gem about mechanics at it's finest

I have a 91 vzn130 4runner with 467, 000 k's and still runs like a dream. It also has the original engine mounts which are still fine. I can still balance a 50 cent coin on edge on the motor while it's idling. Love my Toyotas. Regular service is the key.

I had a 12 ft ladder to do stuff needed at the top. And used some of the harder ear plugs to squish in the lines and hoses to stop the smaller flow.
