i noticed that when i am idling the engine often shakes. i can feel it in the steering wheel and if i drive far in the seats.
do motor mounts need to be replaced?

Well, it's either you have a mis-fire or bad mounts.

Look for any cracked or leaking mounts. However, if you have a mis-fire I could resolve that first (you may just need a tune-up).
