Detailed Description

Anchor 9497 is designed as a front engine mount for vehicles that need controlled engine support and vibration isolation. It is a direct-fit style replacement for 2006-2008 Toyota RAV4, 2016-2019 Toyota RAV4, 2008-2015 Scion xB, 2011-2016 Scion tC with manual transmission only, and 2015-2021 Lexus NX300h. This part cross-references Pioneer Automotive Industries 620120 for the same application.
