Have someone watch the engine while you sit in the car, put it in reverse and drive while braking and giving it gas. Switch back and forth a few times. If the engine seems to rock WAY more than it should, you have just diagnosed said concern.
I agree.
Check your lugs as well.

Check your EGR valve clearance, possibly the valve is violently shaking to the point of exploding. Those things are dangerous by nature.

Gas pedal recall possibly floor mat malfunction.



Have you looked at the wheel bearings? Are the tires just worn out or are they wearing in a weird way?

Took the fall and spent whatever money I had and replaced almost everything besides the brakes rotors, brake pads, and brake fluid. Only getting pulsation from the brake pedal now. Steering wheel shake is nearly gone, but I am positive it's just a tire that's out of balance as it comes at 60 mph and goes at around 75 mph.

I replaced the LBJs, control arms, steering bushing, power steering fluid, tie rods, and I have tires on the way. My current tires are illegal as they have virtually no tread left. Once those tires are mounted I'll be getting a balance and alignment. And I also tightened the steering pre-tensioner. Got all of this done yesterday in my driveway and it was ****ing cold.

It was not a motor mount issue btw. I was really hoping it wasn't too
