Motor mount Question

Yes I searched.

2004 AT 44k miles. Only mod is a cat-less midpipe.

Replaced plugs, coils, wires 2k ago.

Car shakes and rattles a lot at idle and in reverse and neutral. It is accentuated by the air conditioner running. Can this be anything other than bad motor mounts? I had one dealer already tell me the mounts are bad and I made an appointment for this friday to get them replaced. Just checking to see if it could be anything else.

It is not oil in the intake and the MAF has also been recently cleaned.

Thank you in advance.

Read it and see if it matches up to your symptoms. If it does you can replace the mounts yourself fairly easily.

Right side mount is shot causing unwanted engine vibration. I would just change both of them out.
