2000 Lexus ES300 Highway Vibration DIY Fix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- Lexus steering wheel vibrates at above highway speeds of 55mph+ when road is not smooth. The cause for this problem is you center bracket between the chassis and transaxle/transmission. VVT-i 3.0 engine require special order mount, i tried to buy the non VVT-i and it did not align properly. I spent soooo much money on LCA, shocks, tierods, rotors, pads, CV axles and new tires and nothing helped. I managed to get new replacement tires for free at America tires which does not happen often because i stated road noise was bad. I hope this video helps everybody in need of a solution with no prior luck. Subcribe and stay tune for other upcoming fixes on my 2000 Lexus. This video work for 1997-2001 Lexus ES300 and Camrys.
lexus is a good car. it can last for life.
my friend had the same issue.
i help him change the trans mid mount.
there is a trick to further improve and reduce the vibration.
i use a polyester foam (5mm to 8mm thick) or yoga mat and cut it to size.
3m spray adhesive and glue it on the mount spot.
install the new mount as usual.
this method further reduces the vibration even further.
you will notice a huge diff.
Yooo bro thanks for this video. You probably saved alot of us alot of time and money. My gs300 06 is starting to do the same thing round the same speed and I was already thinking of replacing a bunch of stuff like you said but thanks to you I'm going straight to the problem. Blessing
Got a 00 es300 same problem too! Do you feel vibration in your steering wheel too???
I appreciate the video man. I have been felling the vibration for a few months now and thumping when i shift to different gear from park. So i am replacing the rear motor mount and your video gave me the guidance how to replace the trans mount.
My highway wobble was intermittent also. I recently replaced all 4 of my brake pads. My front brake calipers were sometimes slightly binding, not fully letting go of the rotors.... Causing the rotors to overheat and warp.... Causing the intermittent wobble. Also caused horrible gas mileage. Solution: new front brake calipers and rotors.
I took my Commodore out for a bit of a drive at 3AM in the morning after I replaced the rear transmission mount .
Replacing the mount fixed the vibration problem !!!!
sweet.. I definitely need to do this on mine too. didn't know that that's the reason or a reason, why I'd get vibrations. keep it up man, these cars last pshhh, long time
Aerick hi did changing the transmission mount fix the vibration while driving? Mine at 55 -65 mph begins to shake or vibrate
cut tire rubber install in middle of that bushings gap is a diy free trick all so poly infill of bushing can work
I change my trans mount on my SC400 last week. It is like a new car!
Very helpful and exactly similar problem with my Lexus ES350
You should do more videos and thank you for sharing this information. Have been chasing a vibration myself.
Can’t wait to try it! Just replaced driver cv axel (had a ripped boot anyways) thought that was the culprit...not so much..😂
This is interesting discovery. Normally the top mount goes bad first and is easiest to replace. The front and rear motor mounts going bad correlate to noise in drive and reverse.
Blessed for this, thank you for sharing!🙏
Thank you for the video. Learn something new..
Thank you bro saved me some money
Just curious did you feel the vibration in your steering wheel?
nice DIY
From the design of this part, it seems like a LOT of pressure is on the rubber, so naturally after a few years it becomes unable to do its job the way it was designed. I think my car has the original one! I also have a shudder from 3rd gear into overdrive (4th) in certain conditions I haven't quite been able to diagnose :/
I'm at 128k now and still going strong. The other mount on the motor is going out too, it happens to be keeping the passenger axle in place o__O vibration is very minimal compare to before now.
I do have one question for you. When you removed the old mount obviously you removed the bolts to loosen it. Did you have to lift the trans in anyway to get the old on out and put the new one in? If so, how did you do it?
Brett Oliver yes I had to lift the trans up by simply jacking it up with a wooden block. Sorry for the late response, my account logged out.
I thank owner for providing this info, yet don't understand why he doesn't provide real procedures even he update the thread. My guess is he didn't do it himself, yet I also see people do business in his garage so doesn't want to share skills.
MAGIC?
Why did you not show how you did it?
Why make the video if you don't show how you did it ..
Wen test drove after fix did it solve the vibration problem
Hi I have a is300h same when driving vibrating from the front car can someone help
also tie rod ends and sway bar link causes alot of noise
Does the 04 ES330 Have Same Mount,Starting to Feel Little of Vibration on Mine,Thought It Might be Reg.Mtr.Mounts,But All the Upper Mts.Seem O.K. My Mileage is 138,000,if It's Same As ES300,What Was Mileage on One U Did?
I looked this up for friend
His wife has Lexus RX330 2006
When she drives it it Shakes at 40-45 miles in hour
Do think it could possibly the transmission mount
No video of how to replace it?
I have a 1997 lexus es 300 i have noticed that when i apply the brake . steering wheel starts
Shaking
Check your brake rotors, might need resurfacing or replacement.
Could this also be an issue on the RX300? My steering wheel has a significant vibration through the wheel at highway speed. The tires have been rotated/balanced several times and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
wowitskevin does your rack and pinion have play? Check it by prying it with a crowbar while in the air.
Im wondering the same thing
Thanks man! What socket did you use for the bolts going into the axle? The ones that are straight down.
You mean the Axle nut sockets?
So it’s going to help after you replace the new mount ?
What happened!???
Nice video. Where are you located ?
Bro thats the( insulator engine mount )
Why did you not show how you did it
+shannon hartley Jack up the car, put it on jack stands. Use a wood block under the oil pan, jack up the engine a tiny bit. Loosen all the bolts and it comes right out.
@@tyltong123 under the oil pan or transmission pan ??
my car start vibrating after a while on the highway. when i slow down enough it stops. then i accelerate again to high speed no problem and it sometimes comes back after a while again. any ideas? i can be driving like 120km/s for several minutes, then it just starts randomly, so it can't be the tires, plus i already had them balance and alinged, it's driving me nuts, because it's hard to diagnose as it never hapened on city streets but usually randomly starts on the highway. there is major vibration like being on a rumble strip if your going fast enough. please help.
Carlos Pereira Did you change your mount to see if that was the issue because you described exactly what my 05 ES330 does
What was the problem? What part did you replaced?
Reading the forums on Lexus website makes you think that this car is designed and driven by a bunch of young ass teenagers hardly any information more just throwing out random things on their car as in what they've done to it like sweet rims or tires but really no real educated information
If the mount is bad, will it cause the engine to shift hard when the transmission shift into gear?
Yeah but there are four mounts so any one of them could be bad.
i need to see a video related to passenger side cv axle replacement can somebody help me with that? thanks in advance.

Did you have to loosen any of the other mounts to get this one in
I say you should. Very difficult to impossible if you don't.
Is this the same for a 2003 Avalon?
yes. es300 and avalon are practically the same
