    Good day all, I have a 2001 4runner with its OEM mounts. Should I replace them with OEM or aftermarket? Any feedback is appreciated.

    What's wrong with the mounts? They should last forever.

    But OEM all the way if you really are going to replace them.

    When I brake and come to a complete stop; after releasing the brake pedal, I feel my car jolt forward like something is catching or its the motor mount. my 2001 4runner has 205k miles on it and was thinking about changing all mounts and suspension. Also, my 4runner vibrates a lot more when I am standstill in drive.

    Find out the true cause. Don't just guess or throw parts at it. The motor mounts might be an issue but it's not something common.

    I am going to replace the mounts (+20 years old), and suspension see what happens. Now I am hoping it is just the mounts and nothing to do with the transmission. Thank you for the feedback
