Does the car feel rough in your seat upon start up?
That could mean low motor mounts.
You may want to check the flex disks on front and rear of driveshaft and also check the driveshaft out well.
Check all your suspension components out well and also look at the steering shock/dampener.
You can unbolt one end of the dampener and see if it moves freely in and out with little resistance then it's no good.
A good steering shock will move very slowly in and out while you push it in and pull it out like a shock absorber.
I'd say get the car on a lift and have it gone over and test driven to try to pinpoint the problem.

Is there an easy way to check out the motor mounts or does the engine have to be lifted to take the pressure off of the mounts? Also, flex disks on the drive shaft? Is this a replacement for u-joints? Is it obvious when they wear? Guess it's time to climb underneath and see what I bought.
