Hello -

Did you look at the mounts to see if they were split or worn? You might have him show you.

You probably have a little time... Just remember quick acceleration etc puts a lot of stress on the mounts....... The mounts keeps the engine in line with everything. I would start putting a little away to have them replaced sometime soon..... Not earth shattering but sometime soon.

So no not any urgency..... But I wouldn't wait forever either.......

A vibration in the steering wheel usually means front end.....

If you do need to get back with us please make sure you tell us the size of your engine and the 8th digit of the VIN.
