how bad is the vibration? You may have bad motor mounts.

is there a certain time it happens?

The vibration is very little through out the whole car but seems to be more noticeable from the front. I was thinking it was the exhaust since is does shake alittle when the cars on, but doesn't seem to be touching anywhere where i can see and no rattles and the vibration occurs when the cars on at all time either at idle or driving. You said it could be the motor mount, how can you physically tell that its bad and does bad motor mounts cause the car to vibrate? Well please reply back soon thanks man!

yes motor mounts that are torn up cause the engine to excessively move around, thus creating a vibration. you can physically look at them and see if they are torn up.

Where do i look at to see if the motor mounts are messed up, is it simply just looking under the car or in the engine bay without taking anything off or apart, and how do you know that they are torn up, any specific things to look for? Thanks
