Lexus Repair: 1999 Lexus RX300 AWD, lexus rx300, 1999 lexus rx300

Question
Hi Brandon,
When the car is in Drive, window close, radio off and with the foot on the brakes at stand still, I hear a quite loud humming noise.  When I shift to N, then the noise goes down to normal.  I've checked the idle and it's normal.  I brought the car to Lexus and they said that it might be the engine mount and that it will cost $800 to fix.  They show me that when the car is tilled, they used a hydr jack and lifted the front end up and down.  When it was lifted to a little, the noise goes away and when higher or lowered, the noise comes back.  Are they right on this issue and is the $800 price fair?  Thanks Frankie

Answer
Sonds like it some of the mounts to me. Depends on how many they want to change.


Go to a Toyota dealer. RX3xx = Toyota Highlander that's been up-trimmed to the nth level. Comes of the same assembly line in Canada & uses 100% of the parts.

Probably save you atleast $30/h in labor.
