Hi All,
A new member to the forum. I'm Scott from Perth, Australia. Came across this website while looking for answers regarding my Toyota Hilux. I have not long moved to Australia and decided to get myself a 4x4.
I have a 1998 Toyota Hilux, LN167r, twin Cab. I recently changed my upper and lower ball joints, left and right tie rod ends and rear engine mount. My Hilux at the start did have a bit of vibration through the cab but since I changed the rear engine mount it has got worst. It is worst when the engine is at Idle, when I driving the vibration settles out.
My Hilux is currently running at 750 rpm at idle. The vibration seems to be coming from the middle to rear of my Hilux.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Re: New member.
Welcome Scott,Your problem seems to me to be an engine mounting.The best way to check the mounting is to remove it from the engine and clamp the mounting in a vice.Then clamp a vice grip onto the other section of the mounting and bend and twist it and check the rubber for cracks and also make sure that the rubber is attatched to the metal plates correctly.I hope you solve your problem

Welcome Scott
Also check your propshaft for excessive movement. Universals, center bearing and balancing of prop shaft just to be sure.

Re: New member.
Hi Scott and welcome to the forum! 
I'm almost certain that you have a prop-shaft problem. The old engine mount probably absorbed some of that vibration but with the new, stiffer replacement, the transfer of the vibration into the body may have become worse.
Have the prop balanced and the centre carrier bearing checked and replaced if necessary.
Engine mounts can be checked without removing them, although that is the better option. To check in situ, you will need two people - one to physically watch the mounts and the other to put the mounts under strain in reverse and 1st gear (rocking the motor in both directions). This is done by operating the brake and accelerator pedals with one foot and the clutch with the other - needs to be done carefully (not in a confined space) so as to avoid a mishap and the observer must look at the mounts from the side, not the front of the vehicle. Also a good idea to chock the wheels front and back.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
