Default RE: Front end vibrations in Gear

I just installed the new bushings to the dogbone mount and tuned up the engine. The engine is still vibrating though. The only mount I havent changed yet is the passenger side mount. When I rev the engine I can see the bushings moving, is that normal? Also when youre touching the frame side of the engine mount you dont feel any vibrations at all. Do you think that mount needs to changed out?

They should move but not excessively. I'd guess your engine should move about 1 to 2 incheswhen reved. I've never priced a trans mount but if they're not much it couldn't hurt. Other than that I would change the trans fluid.

I looked into it a little closer and the vibrations may be coming from the exhaust hitting the body, I'm gunna throw it back on jack stands tomorrow and see if thats the case.

I ended up taking the car to a local shop to get a second opinnon on it. They told me that my cat had gone bad and could be causing the problem. So I'm gunna cut out the old cat tonight and see whats going on with it.
