Toyota Camry Engine Mount Replacement Cost (2007-2026)

Quick answer: $220-$470 per mount at an independent shop. The critical variable is engine: V6 Camrys use a hydraulic front-right mount ($80-$145 for the part) that fails via internal fluid leak, while I4 models use rubber at all positions ($40-$60). If your V6 Camry shakes on startup, this mount is the first suspect.

V6 vs I4: The Critical Difference

3.5L V6

Front-right mount is hydraulic. It uses a fluid-filled chamber to damp the V6's higher vibration frequency. When the internal seal fails, fluid leaks into the cavity and the dampening is gone. The engine shakes noticeably at startup until it warms. This is not a safety issue but it will worsen.

Parts: $80-$145 | Total: $240-$470

2.4L / 2.5L I4

All-rubber mounts at every position. Simpler failure mode (gradual crack and sag), cheaper to replace, and DIY-friendly. The rear torque mount is the most common failure on 2.5L Dynamic Force models due to higher compression loads.

Parts: $40-$70 | Total: $220-$380

The Camry Startup Shake

2007-2011 V6 Camry owners on ToyotaNation and Camry forums widely report a noticeable vibration on cold start that diminishes once the engine warms. This is almost always a failed front-right hydraulic mount. When the internal fluid chamber ruptures, the mount behaves like a solid rubber block for the first few minutes until engine heat reduces the vibration amplitude. The fix: replace the front-right hydraulic mount with a Corteco or Rein OEM-equivalent unit. Do not buy a budget hydraulic mount for this application.

DIY Feasibility on a Camry

Front mounts on I4 Camrys are straightforward: floor jack, support the engine with a wood block on the oil pan, 1-2 hour job. Savings of $120-$180 in labour. The V6 hydraulic front-right mount requires slightly more care during installation to ensure proper orientation. Transmission mount (rear) requires an engine support bar and takes 2-3 hours; not recommended for first-timers.

Common Questions

How much does a Toyota Camry engine mount replacement cost?

About $220 to $470 per mount at an independent shop in 2026. The key variable is the engine. V6 Camrys use a hydraulic front-right mount ($80 to $145 for the part), while I4 models use rubber mounts at all positions ($40 to $60). Labour runs $110 to $203 per mount at 1.0 to 1.5 book-hours.

Why does my V6 Camry shake on startup?

That cold-start vibration is almost always a failed front-right hydraulic mount, the classic 'Camry shake.' When the mount's internal fluid chamber ruptures it behaves like a solid rubber block until engine heat reduces the vibration. It affects 2007-2011 (XV40) and later V6 Camrys. Replace it with an OEM-equivalent hydraulic unit such as Corteco or Rein rather than a budget mount.

Do I4 and V6 Camrys use different engine mounts?

Yes. I4 (four-cylinder) Camrys use rubber mounts at all positions, typically $40 to $60 per part. V6 Camrys add a hydraulic, fluid-filled mount at the front-right position, $80 to $145 per part, which fails by internal fluid leak. This is why V6 mount jobs cost more and why the 'Camry shake' is a V6 issue.

Can I replace a Camry engine mount myself?

Front mounts on I4 Camrys are a straightforward 1 to 2 hour job with a floor jack and a wood block supporting the engine on the oil pan, saving $120 to $180 in labour. The V6 hydraulic front-right mount needs more care to orient correctly, and the rear transmission mount requires an engine support bar and 2 to 3 hours, which is not recommended for first-timers.
