Passenger Motor Mount done?
#1
Getting some vibrations, and from what I've seen is that it could be motor mount related.

I grabbed a picture. Is this thing done? It's pretty 'concave' in the middle.

^^^ I think Jamie's right - in any event, yours is missing the cap - here's what it should look like, and below that with the cap on:

Have any of them been removed lately for any type of work? miss aligned mounts can cause some vibration

I say just replace it anyways and call it a day. they're not overly expensive for a stock mount and takes 30 minutes to change. Just make sure they're torqued down properly and you're good to go.

How did it work out Ryan? I am having some intermittent vibration issues while in gear but stopped at a light or in a parking lot about to back out of the spot. Big vibrations. other times it is just fine.

Cheers,
Scott

I recently replaced both upper mounts. Before I replaced them, there were noticable vibrations especially when there were dips in the road or anytime there was compression on the springs when turning. Now it drives like a new car!!
