when driving speed above 60mph. Car has a lot of vibration. Noticeably more when going up a hill. I was thinking maybe the motor mounts or plugs. What do you thinkg. Tires are ok.

IS THE VIBRATION ON ACCELERATION?? OR IS THE VIBRATION WHEN YOU ARE COASTING AT 60MPH? IF THE VIBRATION IS WHEN JUST DRIVING ABOVE 60MPH, IT MAY BE DUE TO A TIRE BALANCE ISSUE. IF THE VIBRATION IS WHEN ACCELERATING, THIS COULD BE RELATED TO A FAULTY AXLE. CAN YOU GIVE MORE INFO?

MOTOR MOUNTS CAN CAUSE A VIBRATION, BUT THAT WOULD BE MORE AT IDLE. YOU CAN CHECK THE AXLES FOR PLAY, IF THEY HAVE TOO MUCH PLAY, THEY CAN CREATE A VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING OR WHEN VEHICLE IS UNDER LOAD.
