Thanks for the ideas. Axle shafts are good, trans. mounts are a couple of years old, wheel bearings good, tires new. I do think motor mounts are in need of some attention--not real bad, but I have a little bit of idle vibration. I didn't realize that motor mounts could cause that type of symptom. I was scared that the trans. was on its way out.
