does this sound like motor mounts to you?

my w201 190td just got new tie rods, center drag, and a new alignment but the car shakes violently and intermittently at speeds between 55 and 65.

it does not happen all the time. it happens more when i go over bumps.

when I replaced the tie rods, i noticed the that driver's side motor mount was leaking. obviously needs to be replaced but the question is...is this the cause of the violent shake?

I have purchased the Lemforder motor mounts from Pelican and they should be in tomorrow.

Quick question, when I lift the motor up via the oil pan (on wood), can I do it one side at a time or do i have to loosen both mounts first? Is it really as simple as removing the top nut then raising the motor? I have never done this before.
