Changed: Bad Motor mount!, Need torque specs! Options

[blu94gt]

Ok, changed my topic. Popped my hood and took a quick look, it was obvious: Bad motor mount. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic in the dark, but can you see how the engine is leaning toward the passenger side? The timing cover is pretty close to resting on the side of the mount.

What brand and where should I order new mounts? I figure I'll just knock all of them out at the same time.

DIY for sure. Not trying to knock your dealer or anything. But when a technician at my local dealer told me that I can should go somewhere else to get work done (mostly cause dealer charges are through the roof) I stopped going there and did as much as I could myself. Although I still go there for parts and whatnot, but not service!

Yeah it is nice when a seemingly hard job goes like that!

I've come to find that particular Toyota dealer is high on a lot of stuff, even parts. They wanted $8 per bolt, I called another Toyota dealer in town that's closer to my job and they wanted $1.75.

I'm always a DIY'er unless the job looks like it will be seriously hard or I don't have the proper tools in my garage. The few times I've had a shop work on my car haven't been the best.
