Red face 1983 Mercedes 240d Shakes like a massage chair

I have recently picked up a 1983 Mercedes 240d w123. I have been going through the basics and can't seem to improve or slow down a crazy vibration problem. I have replaced all 3 motor mounts, trans mount, adjusted the valves and have replaced all 4 fuel injectors(injectors were leaking). Nothing has seemed to make any type of improvement. My question is, is there a certain procedure for installing new mounts on this car? I have seen many posts that ask if they were installed with the car lifted in the air or sitting on the ground, does it make a difference? I would also like some advise on the type of mounts that should be purchased if the OEM are not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately 240Ds don't have a rack damper bolt.
