Idle shaking

[charlietanpants]

Hi. I was just looking for some advice before I take my car into a shop. Whenever I start my car up and it's in idle or stopped at a light, the vibrations from the engine are strong enough to shake the entire car. It idles fine without any missing, backfires or lurching. It's just vibrating horribly. Am I looking at bad or worn out motor mounts as the cause or something else? Thanks!

More than likely it is the motor mounts, especially on the 98's, mine shook like crazy and in the same situations you're noting.

I agree about the motor mounts.I have a 97 pro' I am about to replace mine. My car shakes bad when I am stopped , it doesn't shake as bad when I am in park..
