Hi,

If the engine is rocking, chances are it is the engine strut mount. If possible, record what it is doing and video the engine so I can see how it's moving.

I attached the directions for the engine mounts and trans mount. Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions. Also, pic 5 begins the engine mount strut I mentioned. Check to see if that is where the play is coming from.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below. Note: The directions are for the 3.5L. You didn't indicate a specific size V6, so I went with the most common one used. If that is incorrect, let me know.
