    I have a 2001 pontiac grand prix gt NA 3.8 w/ a WAI and flowmaster mufflers the car has 115,000+ miles on it and I have been feeling a strong vibration when the car is stopped at a light, I have changed the fuel filter, air filter(w/ a WAI), spark plugs, spark plug wire, sea foamed it, used Chevron fuel system cleaner, replace pcv valve, change oil(Penzoil High Mileage 10w-40), used Engine Restore(the oil additive) but there is still a vibration which makes me want to look at the engine mounts, is there anything else I could have missed? Any ideas on where the vibration is coming from?
    P.S it's not rocking back and forth just alot of vibration main felt from the steering wheel.
    Thanks, for the help in advance

    No, I attempted to flip them one day I sprayed the lubricant around the rubber parts but I couldn't get them to flip when I turned them w/ the ratchet

    It's possible you could have broken a part of the mount.

    I popped my engine mount on my 97 SE, it caused all kinds of vibration at idle and at speed. Replaced it and I was good to go, no more vibration until recently. Im guessing its time to install trans side mount I bought a year ago lol.
