Hi Guys,
I have a 1990 ST182 Celica AUTO with the 3SG-E engine and need some help with engine mounts.
Going by the level of maintenance on this car, it looks as thought this thing has just been run to the ground.
I am trying to restore it to it's former glory because I think they're cool and it's a shame to just disregard it as a POS!
The front engine mount has collapsed and there is a vibration through out the car at idle, inside the cabin it just drones at idle! (I have never experienced that before in a car at idle).
Question is, are all the ST18X engine mounts the same for eg, are 5SF-E and 3SGT-E the same as 3GS-E? I will assume that the engine blocks would all be relatively the same externally but I am not sure.
From what I have seen at the wreckers, it appears the 5SFE mounts look the same as what's in the car now. Before I start buying mounts I thought to run it by anyone here that might know better.
Any suggestions?
Peter
