    maybe allow me to clarify because im not going to argue with that bill. i dont mean rip into the jacking and tear em apart, rather lift the engine to the point where its plainly obvious that they are good or stuffed. i found that it only took a small lift to see that they were separated, maybe 5-10 mm ,thats all

    I have a similar vibration in the same RPM range. Crawled underneath and checked the engine mounts. The looked fine. Then took it in for a wheel balance. Lo and behold! Left mount has completely separated, so guess what I am going to be doing?

    Default Unfortunately a lot of newbies won't know that if you don't

    tell them and will attempt to pick up the car by the engine which will usually break the mounts.. The most common failure i see is not the mounts breaking but the mounts collapsing, since it is a hydraulic mount if it collapses you don't get any damping and vibration is transferred to the frame. And that can't be told by raising the motor with a jack.
