I've had this thing since I bought the car, but I really wanna get rid of it.
When I'm idling it's heavily vibration, specially the stearing wheel, but if you rev it to 1500rpm or higher it's gone. You can sometimes idle at 1300-1400rpm and only need 100rpm to make it go away.
I'm thinking about maybe engine mounts, but I need help with this.

Change the passenger side front engine to inner fender mount. Right near the timing belt. I filled mine with polyurethane, and the vibrations INCREASED! But, the engine doesn't slop around as much. Buy a new one, & you'll be happy.

Gotta check out how much it would cost me, hopefully not a fortune.

Ok I'm bumping this thread up a little. I have finally found a trendy/justy with the right model at a scrapyard, and if I find the engine not vibration like mine does I wanna buy the engine/tranny mounts.
The question is, where are all those placed?....those that you should switch.

there are four mounts: - fender to engine on passenger side - Dog bone in the middle engine to firewall - middle support member (puck shaped) probably doesnt need replacing as it is almost never touched. - trans mount right near the prop shaft. the last mount will be diffucult to get off with out removing the trany if it is even possible at all.
the dog bone and the fender to engine would be importnant ones to replace or fix. the trans one maybe if it isnt fixed from the latter two

are you sure it's even the mounts, i was having terrible vibration issues with my engine at around 26,000 miles. turns out it was a cracked vacuum line. I snipped it and reattached it and the problem went away. I also adjusted the idle a tad and now it idles smooth.
