If timing belt was off a tooth, you would be hearing valve noise.
SOmetimes the mounts will look OK but may have collapsed. Does the engine move 2-3 inches when shifting from reverse to drive? If so then a mount is suspect.
Also check the cradle bolts, for missing/loose bolts as well as mount bolts.
Does engine idle smooth? If not it may need a tune-up, plugs, wires, coil, rotor, cap.
Finally check the rubber insulator on the balancer for wear/deterioration.
