My vehicle started to get a slight vibration that you could feel in the pedal a few weeks ago and I know it was not the tires as that is the most expensive thing on the car. I thought maybe motor mounts, but had no time to look at it.

Today it started to get a much stronger vibration and it might not even be the same thing. When I start the car (it was already warm) and in park it is fine at first, but then after a few seconds starts to make noises and vibrates. I tried all the gears and the same thing. The vibration the same whether in park or going 50 miles per hour.

Could that be motor mount? Is there anyway to test. Any suggestions?

 

What country are you located, what size motor in the vehicle and how many miles on the van?

 

Motor 3.3,

Miles 140K

Country USA

 

Thanks...at least I now know this is not a European market Diesel. ..
So If the vehicle is in park(not moving) and does not vibrate, and continues when you go into motion. Then I would say you have an engine concern and not mounts/brakes or suspension.
Is the Check engine light illuminated on the dash cluster when the engine is running?

I have an 04 van with 193k miles and know it's still on the original motor/trans mounts and have NO problems.The early vans did tend to have the trans mount go bad, and I'm talking about the FIRST GEN.(85-91) vans.

 

It vibrates in park and in drive. There is no loss of power so I don't think spark plugs gas or anything of that nature. Check engine light is not on.

I ordered off the front and passenger side mounts from Rock Auto as they are inexpensive and easy to change. I did not order off the right side transmission mount as it looked like I would have to not just support the transmission but drop it down to replace it.
