Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to replace the torque strut mount. Also you could say it's the upper passenger side engine mount. This is a 1998 Toyota Camry. It's the same for the ‘97 to 2001 Camry as well as the Toyota Solara with a 2.2 liter engine.
You'll need new torque engine mount from 1AAuto.com, 14 millimeter socket, ratchet and extension and a torque wrench.
Open the hood and secure the hood prop. Your upper motor mount, torque mount or most commonly the dog bone mount on your Toyota is located at the top passenger side of the engine bay. We're going to remove this and this 14 millimeter bolt, using a 14 millimeter socket and ratchet. Once the bolt's removed, simply work the mount out of it's housings.
Here we have our old dog bone mount from the vehicle and our new mount from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these mounts are the exact same size and shape. They have the same mounting locations, both at the body side and the engine side. Your engine is constantly moving back and forth working the mount like this. That causes tearing in the motor mount, as you can see here, as well as tearing the material out of the inside here. See, we have nice, thick solid rubber in the new mount here. As that rubber wears out, breaks down and tears, this sleeve can move back and forth inside the steel of the mount as your engine rocks back and forth during acceleration and deceleration causing a delayed feel in the change of power as well as a loud clunking noise as the engine moves forward and back causing this sleeve to hit the edges of the mount.
Install your new motor mount. You'll notice that this arm is offset. You'll want the side where it's closer to the edge facing the engine, as so. Slide the motor mount into the body. You may have to tap it a little bit down into the bracket on the engine side. The shorter of the two bolts will go on the body side. The longer of the two bolts will go through the mount on the engine bracket. You may have to tap it a little to get the bolt to line up. Tighten the bolts down with a 14 millimeter socket and ratchet. Torque the bolts to 47 foot pounds.

Hi, I'm Tony with 1AAuto here to talk to you today about the upper motor mount, the torque mount, or what’s most commonly referred to as the dog bone mount, on this '98 Toyota Camry behind me.
The mount is located here on the top passenger side of your engine and what it does is it prevents fore and aft movement of your engine as you let on and off the throttle. That engine wants to lurch forward and go backwards as you get on and off the gas. These mounts are very common to fail as we constantly get on and off the throttle when driving, so these really take a lot of abuse.
The easiest way to test for a bad dog bone mount is to have a friend stand with the hood open and watch the movement of the motor and the actual dog bone mount itself. We've set up a camera to show you what it looks like and what you or your friend will do from inside the vehicle while the other watches.
Put your foot on the break, shift into reverse, you'll see a large engine movement. Drive, it'll lurch the other way, and you can actually feel a little bit of a clunk inside the car as that motor is rocking back and forth.
If you're unsure, with your foot still firmly on the break, you can rev it up a few times and really see that engine move. The way you can tell it's your dog bone mount and not the fault of another mount in the motor, as you'll notice, the dog bone mount stays in place while the engine lurches back and forth.
Something that may cause you to believe that your dog bone mount has gone bad is when you accelerate and let off the throttle when driving, you'll feel the engine lurch. The most common place you'll probably notice this movement is when starting from a stop sign or a light. We've installed our new mount to give you an idea of what a normal amount of engine movement looks like. You'll notice there's no more clunking or hard lurching in the motor, while it does still rock back and forth slightly.
If your old dog bone mount has broken down, worn out, or torn and is causing clunking or excessive engine movement inside the bay, this new dog bone mount from 1AAuto is going to get rid of that noise, lock your motor down where it needs to be, and fix you up right.
