Ihave 1 '94 Camry, 175K miles. “Dog-bone” engine mount replaced at 90K. 2 Front engine mounts replaced at 147K when struts were replaced. Recently a mechanic says engine mounts are worn out, big price tag to replace them. ($900!) I think they’re blowing smoke. How many motor mounts does this car have, and do I need to care about this?

What are the symptoms that makes a mechanic say the mounts are worn?

I’d guess there are three mounts, but there may be four. I’d get a second opinion, and I’d like to know if you are having any trouble with the car. It’s unusual for someone to recommend motor mount replacement unless the customer has a problem.

The price seems a bit high, too.
