Hello,
I am driving a 1998 Volvo V90 with 160k miles. I recently purchased it and have noticed it has quite a bit of a vibration. It Doesnt seem to matter if it is in gear or park. I have noticed the engine moves up and down quite a bit on the driver's side when putting it into and out of gear. It also has a little movement when you gas it. My thought is, it is a bad motor mount. Looking at the driver's side mount I noticed one of the mount brackets was missing a nut. Aha! I put a nut on it but was only able to get 1/4 ratchet on it. Unfortunately it didnt fix the vibration. Now I am back to thinking it is the motor mount. However, I don't really know what a bad motor mount looks like. It doesn't appear to be bad to me but I did notice the thin metal cable that goes around the mount has lots of play. Should it be taught? Is that sign the mount has collapsed?
I appreciate your alls time and advice.
Jake
