Question Feeling shaky/vibration when idling

hi guys, have been in the forums for awhile, but had always been just a reader.

anyways I was test driving a used 2000 s40 1.9t @ 43k miles and realized that the car vibrates alot when it is idling. Where i felt obsolutely no shakes compare to other volvos like in my dad's 850 and test drives from s80, s70. Is it suppose to be like that or is there something wrong? Thanks for ur help!

Re: Feeling shaky at stops?

might need to pick up new rotors. When was the last brake pad replacement and rotor replacement?

I havent felt that on my S40. I just recently remilled my rotors and installed a new set of pads, theyre working really nicely. Took time to do though.

Rough idle maybe?

Nope. Engine mount is at fault for this one.
