motor mount?
is it safe to say i have a broken motor mount if the whole motor squats to the passenger side when you push the throttle? just checked it, i looked while my brother worked the gas. when it opens up the motor leans. so i guess i need new ones? what kinda of ride comfort would i be lacking if i replaced them with solid mounts? thanks.

hhmmm, i'll have to check it again because i don't know if it's out of the ordinary. i can't see the actual mount from under the car because of that metal plate, but if it isn't that what else could cause such a harsh vibration at about 95mph? the vibration dampener looks okay.

Vibrations in general can be caused by a lot of things. Poorly balanced wheels, tires out of round, poorly balanced driveshaft, something out-of-balance in the area of the Flexplate/flywheel or torque converter, trans mount or torque arm mount issue, etc.
