i did mine and it didnt vibrate at all, make sure you torqued everything, or if you didnt install it, make sure whoever did torqued everything, i truly believe if installed right there shouldnt be much vibration if any.

Give them a few days and miles to break in.. They sometimes are a rough ride at first.

I haven't installed one on this car yet, but on the previous car I ground down the two preload bumps and then installed it. No vibrations

my energy suspension mount added a tiny vibration for the first couple days and then it went 90% back to normal

Aftermarket poly mounts will make it vibrate, especially if your tires have low tire pressure.

Some folks will run the 1LE GM trans mount, does not vibrate as bad.
