ENGINE MOUNTING FR TOYOTA HILUX (VIN-00214)

The Front Engine Mounting (Toyota OEM 12361-35050) is a heavy-duty engine support and vibration-insulating component designed for select Toyota pickup and commercial vehicle platforms. It securely mounts the engine to the chassis while absorbing engine vibration, torque reaction, and road shocks, ensuring smooth operation and long component life.

This mounting is engineered to Toyota’s original specifications, combining a high-strength steel bracket with a precision-tuned rubber insulator, making it suitable for vehicles operating under high load, commercial duty, and rough road conditions.
