2005 Extra Cab 4 Cyl Motor Mounts?

Good evening folks. I have a 2002 Tacoma, 4 cylinder, extra cab, that I bought for my son, 2 WD and about 190k miles. When I drive it, and either come to a stop, or pulling away from a stop, and my hand is resting on the shift know, I notice that it moves a little fore and aft. While it was in the shop after we first bought it, with a key broke in the ignition, the Toyota tech suggested that it may be the motor mounts. Looking for some opinions and if this is something I can do in the garage and save some $$. Would love to do it with my son so we can both learn a little. Thanks in advance for any help.

I did this and it works great. Only did the driver side. Cost was about $8.00 for grade 8 bolt, nylock nut, Teflon washer and stainless washer.

Hope this helps you.

 

Ritchie thanks for the post, not sure why I didn't see this until now, but I think we'll try it out! Thanks again!

 

No problem... as an up-date, I did the same to my auto trans mount too.
Now, having both set up this way, the Inch Work Lefty 4.7 won't have a chance to peel the trans mount.

Good luck.
