Yes - I think new motor mounts are due regardless, I just dont know how much more money I want to put into this car... Already spent about $2500 this year. I did have to get new belts because the pulley came off from the metal post going into the block... I was about 100 miles from home and luckily the shop was able to get me on the road within 4 hours. that cost me like $600. new tires, brakes & rotos, front half axles, tie rods and alignment. This car is like new, LOL.

Since your vibration is affected by having the A/C engaged and you threw the accessory belts, I would inspect all your pulleys for proper alignment. My original engine mounts lasted over 300,000 miles and after failing, engaging the A/C made the engine vibration worse. You should also check for vacuum leaks and DISA operation. As for spending the money for repairs, I just dumped $1100 into replacing catalytic converters that I'll recover in less than three months compared to a vehicle loan payment.
