Eg & Tr-axle supports replaced





It took me 2 days from early in the morning till late at night to replace 4 pieces of motor and trans axle mounting supports with fully exhausted my body condition. Especially, the right side and the rear required relatively long period of time, inexperienced task on a unfamiliar model would often the case.
The main right side one has a strange construction to have a hunger stay arm connected with 10 mm bolt and a ST for loosening in narrow space was indispensable at all.
The trans axle rear mount required a long extension tool to be loosen the main silent bush center connection from the left tire house portion. Relatively higher shape and 3 long bolts prevented some smoother handling instead obliged me several attempts like a wisdom ling under quite an unnatural body posture. Removing and re-insertion procedures of this complicated mount was done from the engine room after unburdening the canister body thoroughly, this is the only way to be done on Caldina AZT 241W model.
Now, have I some muscle pain everywhere in my body, but the condition would be getting better, also I have realized the reason why a TOYOTA dealer mechanic was so surprised to here I would do by myself this difficult work.

Then how was the result after some desperate efforts for two days, rewarded?
Yes! All the unpleasant reactions and attitude disappeared at all like a new vehicle.
I knew how much effective the mounting parts are, driving feel does not always established only by the axle geometric designs but over 200 kg weight supporting construction and conditions have much to do with.
Probably, the manufacturer's engineers in the researching and developing division who seldom appear in their advertisement reports, want to advocate their struggling effort like bleeding.
Ordinary passenger's car might have enough capability to endure over 20 years use if the rubber parts were replaced periodically following manufacturer's instructions.
Pictures about this procedure would appear later.
