You may have a bad engine mount (or two). They are good for about 100,000 miles and then they collapse (they are pneumatic).

Yes, but it is mounted via flexible mounts which is what keeps your teeth from rattling out of your head while it running.

You can measure them to see if they are good or not. From the top most rubber rim to the frame they are 17mm when new. At 13mm they are considered to be collasped.

Use a feeler gauge. My 10mm socket is 13mm dia.
