Thanks bro I was loosing my marbles on this for a bit trying to figure why it wouldn't go in and it's true the edges on the aftermarket one are just a little different to make you rethink life 😁
That part is most likely is "Anchor 9155", part around the welded nut sticking out like 10 mm which makes installation impossible from the top. I've wasted 4 hours until I figured it out. Also anyone looking for new rear mount, don't buy from ebay (especially A4220 or A4230) since most of them doesn't fit on 03-08 Corolla Matrix fwd with automatic even though listing says it fits. They are actually made for manual transmissions. I've wasted 2 hours with one of those wrong (A4220) part from Ebay after my second Oem mount failed.
I did learn about the problem of the after market parts from this video. I saw people in the Amazon reviews complaining about the mounts not fitting. Now I understand the problem. Thank you. BTW, I would put in the horizontal through bolt first before tightening the bolts underneath.
If I put the through bolt in first then I would not be able to get the nuts and bolts through the bottom side of the mount unless I jack the transmission up or down to line up and I will spend more time playing around with it. I did it the other way around instead so I didn't have to fiddle with the jack to lower and raise the transmission and the lining up of the bolts. Either way it does not matter which bolts you put in first as long as you get them all in and tighten them down in the end. Everybody will work differently. But what matters is that the job gets done properly and no issues at the end. Thanks for watching!
Great Job! I just did this on my 05 Matrix. That tip about grinding down the long stud side excess metal to match original was spot on. I ground down the other side too as my replacement was off a bit. Also your video of how it came out and went back in was easy to follow. My mount was DEA/Marmon from Rock Auto. Took me 15 min from start to finish. Thank you for the excellent information.
My friend your video help me a lot thank you berry much only one thing you should glue the mount protector so the heat from the exhaust won’t damage the mount if factory put it there is to keep the heat away from the mount
I just did all 4 mounts and it was a big pain. It looks easy but its not. I would suggest just doing the one that needs fixed. The ones that look cracked. I did the first 3 and it didn't fix the noise. I did the rear one last and it was the problem. I know that the others may go bad eventually but just my opinion.
I just did this yesterday with a westar part. Fought with getting it in for too long before the grinder came out. The long stud on the forward inboard corner was 1/4" longer than factory. The forward outboard leg has too much metal and won't go around the steering rack mount. Look at the oem mount and trim the new one to match. Do this BEFORE you try to install. You will chew up the power steering fluid lines in there trying to get it in if you don't, and it still won't fit. If I had to do this again, I'd just get the part from toyota. The savings was eaten up by time and frustration.
Anchor 9155 requires modification on the base next to the welded nut OR it will not work. Period. However it’s not difficult with a grinder. Just closely match the original. Touch up the raw steel with black paint. Once I reshaped it it was a 5 minute fuss to place it in place.
I have the same issue when I replace mounts on my corolla 03 i did the same with a grinder is not the same brand I think all that rear mount got that issue is a 30 minutes job turns a hour job o more if you don’t know great video
I just replaced the rear mount on my 2006 scion tc stickshift at home and it was hell 😂I took out the intake and battery, disconnected the transmission mount to give me wiggle room to pull out the rear mount from the top and finally put the new one back in.
Nice! Glad to hear you were able to get it done. I know those ones have the 2AZ-FE 2.4 liter engines. Those mounts look very similar to the Corolla type mounts for the rear. Glad you could do it. I have yet to do some engine mounts on those engines.
If you have the manual transmission then the job may end up being harder. You are going to need to disconnect the shift linkage cables from both their linkage connections as well as their holding bracket so that you can tuck them out of the way. You may need to remove the holding bracket, as well, to get extra room or just to make the removal and reinstallation process a bit less painful. To remove the cables from the bracket you have to pull the fastening tabs out, they have little tabs at the top folded at a right angle to grab onto with your tool and yank really hard (use some penetrating fluid beforehand if they are really crusted on there and to help lubricate them). If you are by chance replacing your lower control arms as well, or at least needing to replace them, then it may be worth it to consider going to route of removing the lower sub-frame after removing the main center bolt that connects the mount to the engine bracket since that is where the arms are installed so that you can get around having to tetris the mount out the top (to do so: disconnect lower control arms from lower ball joints and break loose mounting bolts for control arms and rear engine mount [easier to do when sub-frame is on car], lower sub-frame and remove old mount and control arms, reinstall new mount and torque mount bolts, reinstall control arms to sub-frame and snug up bolts [don't torque until vehicle is sitting at ride height!] and reinstall frame in place, reconnect mount to engine, then lower the car and torque control arm mounting bolts, you are done!). Also, when it comes to this particular mount, I would spend more $ and get the OEM part so that it lasts longer and you don't have to go through this again as soon. observations: - unbolting the mount is fairly easy, pulling it out and putting a new one in is not. The most time spent will likely be trying to pull the mount out, for some people it may take hours. Be persistent and don't be afraid to disconnect other mounts to further adjust lifting height with the jack. The other mounts are easy, it's just this one that is hard. - pay attention to them brake lines when you are maneuvering the mount in or out, they are a messy, expensive, time consuming fix!
Thanks for your effort in putting up the long and detailed explanation. I have encountered removing and installing the rear transmission mount on those C59 manual transmission Corollas particularly on the 2010 model which is pretty much the same chassis from the 2003 and 2008 with some design changes, but different engine. Removing the rear mount is easy, but putting it back in is the difficult part. I was able to do it without touching the subframe/bolts. I ended up maneuvering the engine and transmission with jacks and blocks of wood and took some patience. I don't think all of that is necessary to do, but will make it easier of course. I do have a video here on replacing a clutch in which I removed and reinstalled that rear mount. Again, thanks for leaving a comment here and thanks for watching!
Not necessary. You are creating more work for yourself than needed and you will also need to do a wheel alignment by disturbing the sub frame. You need to work smarter not harder. Less work equals the better. It was all because I had an aftermarket part which was the main issue and it was slightly too wide on one side which I ended up grinding it down slightly to make it fit. In the end it's an easy job. I just happened to make a longer than expected video.
@@moosemobileautorepair I was saying only drop subframe if you need control arms, in which case you would need an alignment anyways. This way I can save the hand/headache of tetrising it out of the engine bay. Personally I am willing to spend the few minutes to drop the frame since that has a standard process whereas yanking the mount out of the engine bay is a figure it out as you go kind of pain in the butt. Maybe I am just stubborn, idk
Whichever works for you. For some, dropping the subframe is easier, for others it is not. Everybody has their own cup of tea and I understand that. I personally choose not to disturb things if it's not needed. I can work around it in most cases depending what the job is. In rust belt areas some subframe bolts could break and cause more problems so I just leave them alone unless I absolutely really need to.
Good video. I own a 2003 Corolla S with 180,000 miles, manual transmission. I have hear a clunk over small bumps. Car does not pull, wear tires crooked, no shake at speeds. No noise when shifting 1-5 gears. I replaced the sway bar links at about 160,000 miles but it has the original struts. No clunk when accelerating or letting clutch in or out when creating a load even on a hill. A shop is telling me this is the repair I need but I don't think so. What are your or other peoples thoughts on what I need? Thanks!
It's hard to say without seeing the vehicle, but based on the information you have given me it's possible that the struts are blown/worn out which can make clunking noises going over bumps. It's possible that the strut is probably so worn out to the point that the shaft is moving rapidly up and down in the strut causing that noise. Are there any visible oil leakage at the front struts itself? Left or right side or both? If the engine mounts are worn out it would cause a problem during acceleration as well in either forward and/or reverse gears depending where/how much of the rubber is worn down to. There could be some cracks and minor tears in the mounts, but maybe not substantial enough to have it replaced yet. However, you do have quite a bit of mileage on that vehicle. On a manual transmission it is a bit harder to inspect since you cannot do the test like how you can do it in an automatic. You can only manually pry on the mounts to check for wear on them to see if they are bad. I would probably closely inspect the steering and suspension on the vehicle first. You may be able to duplicate the noise by manually pushing down with your hands on the side where it is causing the noise if it is a strut related issue. I hope that helps let me know.
@@moosemobileautorepair Thank you for the quick and detailed reply. No signs of oil. When I push quickly on either side of the front of the car or try to rock the car back and forth, there is no noise. I agree that the struts are a good place to start. I also saw a sway bar bushing replacement video which might be the issue. I will get under the car and pry around on various locations. Thanks again.
@@kevinkane7170 No problem. Let me know what you find. Some noises can be very subtle and so they may be difficult to find sometimes. You can tug on the sway bar near the links to see if it makes any noises or use a pry bar to check them as well. Yeah, I would start just checking the entire vehicle and prying to check things if you're able to. Also, sometimes new parts can give problems too especially aftermarket parts so I would double check any new parts that have been recently replaced to see if there is any play or looseness in them. If you find nothing in the end it could be the front struts as the strut mounts/bearings can cause noise sometimes going over small cracks and small bumps. They can also make noise when turning too more so when stopped or in a parking lot.
You would have to inspect all 4 mounts on that vehicle to see if any of them are worn out. A hairline crack is not really of much concern, but the issue is some engine mounts can be difficult to inspect without removing them completely out of the vehicle although that is not practical. You would have to have a helper in the vehicle to place it in gear while on the brake and another person inspecting for excessive movement of the mounts to see which one is worn. Alternatively, you can try to use a pry bar and pry on the mounts gently to inspect them as well. Usually if one mount is bad I would take a closer look at all of the other ones as well. If only one mount is replaced it could fail again if the other ones are bad. Sometimes it may be better to replace all 4 mounts as a set to avoid future problems. I'd recommend using the OEM Toyota mounts as they are better and last longer although it may be a bit more expensive. The aftermarket ones can sometimes be junk. They can be a hit and miss with the aftermarket mounts. The front passenger's side fluid filled top mount and the front center lower mount are usually the ones that go bad first. There is also a TSB for some of the affected vehicles about replacing the front top passenger's side mount.
Can anyone tell me what the little knob on the top of the mount is? Does it serve a purpose? On the part shown here I'm referring to the rectangular box type thing opposite the mounting studs.
Bro my suger blood pressure up then your 😅 beacuse of watching this vedio so I now this time I must stay outside from home for 8 hours otherwise in home everything will finsish 😅
It doesn't work that way as I had an aftermarket part. You didn't watch the entire video. I had to grind off a tiny bit of the metal on the one side to get it to go in. The aftermarket part wasn't made properly to make it an easy fit. Overall if you have the original part it's a relatively an easy job.

It is easier and there is no work involved in filling the support with polyurethane adhesive, giving good results.
