I had a 93-940 wagon that vibrated a lot too.
I had installed "new" hydraulic motor mounts/tranny mounts from eEuroparts.com for $37.00 each but the vibration didn't change, I decided to buy the expensive mounts at $63.00 each and they were "SO" different, like day and night, the vibration decreased like 50%, you get what you pay for, right? good hydraulic mounts would be over $60 each anywhere.
I could then grab the engine with two fingers and whigle it like it was resting on an air matress.
I also replaced the spark plugs, improved a little, the distribuitor cap, improved much more, and used expensive injector cleaner in every other tank, improved much more......
I replaced the spark plug cables, not much change.
One thing I did that improved the motor a lot was using "SeaFoam" to clean the valves and combustion chamber (be careful, see the FAQS)through the fuel pressure vacum hose, and sucking a cup of water after that through the same vacum hose (be careful, little by little)...the vibration decreased A LOT...it was unbelieveable for a 4 cylinder car.
I mean vibration is a combination of many factors, my car then was 80% better than 6 months before.
That car was 215,000 miles old......clean the air intake valve too, and the idle air valve, that valve is key in the idle control, see FAQs, that helps a lot at idle.
OF course I am assuming that your tie rods, control arms, balljoints and all rubber bushings in the front and the engine are all good, mine were destroyed and had to replace them all.
