Hi everyone, so sorry about the lighting and audio and camera work. Also, after closer inspection my engine mounts ARE worn. Not something I'll do in the apartment garage, will be done at next heavy maintenance call.
Just bought an Ace and have this exact same problem. Thank you so much for making this! It confirmed my working theory and makes me much less concerned about how much of a PIA this will be to fix. The only problem I have with this video is that now I REALLY wish I had a woodgrain dash like yours.
You've entered the realm of "fixing stuff under cars" videos for which there is absolutely no standard of video quality. If it's not filmed on an original Moto Razr, you've done well. Good video. Off to febest...
Nathan! Amazing video man. Been contemplating this job myself but didn't realize it was this manageable! Definitely on the list now that I have your video as a guide. Loving all this content and appreciate the hard work.
Thankyou for the video just changed mine over and it definitely made a noticeable difference to vibrations, the old one was cracked and old it also had a rubber cover that slides over it which I kept on
I wonder how much of an improvement it would be if you used a Toyota part. I replaced my mounts with aftermarket parts in my lexus RX and I regret it. Thank you for your content. I want a Hiace bad.
Hey mate, getting this part & will attempt to swap as per your expert guidance in the video. Did you experience heavy shake on engine shutdown?? Got my mechanic to check engine mounts which are apparently fine, so hopefully this rear mount will sort it 🤞🏼
mine vibrates on idle and rattles a bit (not sure if “normal” amount or not) and supposedly had a new transmission mount put in before export. guess I know what to check now! thank you
Nathan, you mention how imperative it is not to crack something like the aluminum transfer case by wrenching like a gorilla. If one can't find the correct torque spec, what would be a safe bet in your opinion?
Hey Nathan, where are you getting the torque specs from? the only ones i can find are from a standard hiace service manual and that lists the 19mm nut torque specs at 49Nm. was hoping you might have a more accurate sorce?

Hey mate, have you done the engine mounts yet?
Please keep making these type of videos, you have no idea how much they help!

Wow, super impressed! Not having a garage, I usually leave that kind of work to the pro's.
What an inspiration for the DIY community. :)
With over 400,000 Km I haven’t checked the engine mounts! I will do so in my next maintenance, cheers from Costa Rica!

Same, Seen my one had turned too rock and shredded itself but didnt want to get into it.
Thanks Nathan. You make it look so easy.

I'll have to add this to my list of things to do.
Nathan: you the HiAceman!
Thanks Nathan! 👏👏👏

Can't beat OEM parts. They've lasted over 20 years on my van as an example. But for now at least I'll take what I can get. The RX is a great car 👍
great video

@miketewhata2411 never had a rough shut-down but the usual diesel kick.

I wish my bolt came out that easy. I had to take the whole bracket off and cut it out. Great video though.
Yeah heard about that on some. I was prepared to douse it in penetrating fluid and use an air hammer but Visions pretty much rust free underneath.

Probably 37nm. If it feels right there I'd leave it, if not I can go up a bit more.

do you know the windshield wipers fit this gen hiace front and rear??
Just got 18 inch genetic arms from Supercheap auto. Standard hook and claw mount.
