I've just noticed what seems to me as excessive engine vibration. To the point of denting my front exhaust, ( see pic).
The only thing I can think of is a worn out engine mount.
Before I replace it, I'm gonna make sure that it's snug n not vibrating loose.
It's the front mount I'm concerned about.
It's a 95, with only 6,100 miles on it.
My thinking is dry rot.
Not sure what else it could be at this point.
Any and all opinions/ suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Pics of the mount would be more helpful than the dented pipe, but it probably is the mount. Stock units are not expensive and as old as yours is I would say it's time to get a new one. I don't know what else could cause that unless you were in a wreck.

No........no wreck that I'm aware of.😉
I'll post some pics of the mount tomorrow.
Thanx
I think I've decided to replace it with a Kinetic Structures mount.
A little costlier than most. But money well invested IMHO..
The exhaust dent isn't any cause for concern is it. Exhaust restriction etc.?
