Do your wheels still have the balancing weights on them? Have you tried rotating the tires. (Very easy thing to do to rule them out.)

I know it's not the rims because I used a friends set of rims to see if mine were bent. I still had the same issues with his rims

Thanks for posting back. Was your transmission mount bent/damaged or was it due to normal wear and tear?

The trans rubber mount was worn already but the bolt losened from hitting the curb. Bout a new polly mount and good to go. BTW had to replace shock as well.
