The car is shaking( I dont think its Motor Mounts)

On the 1984 300SD, the car shakes. At high and low speeds, the car seems to have a longer idle, but i could easily be wrong. This is coming from my dad's description. I suppose it could be motor mounts, but what about tire alignment?
Thanks for all your help, ;D

the engine wont really be felt that bad at above idle speends unless there are no mounts left and the engine shocks are completley shot. that sounds like tires out of balance. an alignment will not help.

After I drove it today, it seems that the idle is quite normal, it is mostly the steering wheel which tends to vibrate irregularly.

Does it vibrate when the brakes are applied or just cruising?
