Faux pedal vibration 850 1994

Recently I've felt a slight vibration or pulse, I'll call it, in the faux pedal that you rest your left foot on. It doesn't happen all the time, but happens sometimes when the car is coming out of a turn (even a very slight turn). Could this be a split CV boot? (there is no constant clicking when turning, however) Or maybe an engine mount?

Any thoughts are appreciated! Happy Holidays to all Brickboarders!

    Anytime you have problems with turns you should take the problem seriously....how many times have you seen people broke down with tires at 90 degrees to the car? I would have the axles, ball joints, tie rods, and connecting links inspected at a minimum......On the left side you have a big motor mount on the back, a motor mount at the top and a rubber mount that holds that one in place near the firewall....not sure they would have anything to do with turns though....you might also have the bearing plates inspected at the top of your struts.....you might have a bad one on the left side......

    Well it's not likely that being the CV but it could be a shifted belt in the radial tire. I've have that happen before and if it's in the side of the tire
    a vibration will be felt.
