Recently, Meineke replaced my lower motor mount with an after-market part (Precision). Since it got fixed, the car has been really vibrating when idling or in stop and go traffic -- which it never did before. I took it to another mechanic who said that he thinks the problem is the motor mount -- the motor is raised up higher than before. He says that he took the mount out and put the engine on a jack and got no vibration. He said that he wouldn't hesitate to tell me to replace it with a genuine part, but when he called the Toyota dealer, they couldn't tell him if the part they were giving him would be solid or hydraulic. Does anyone know if the Toyota front lower motor mount is hydraulic or not? Or, should I just suck up the extra $225 and get a Toyota motor mount any way.
Thanks.
