An easy swap if you have a press. Those inserts , I don’t see them being used to support a weak failed transmission mount

OK I FINALLY got this done. with all the things that have been going on. i got the bushings from Rock then went around to the loaning places by me and nobody had the size. so asked my local mechanic to press them in. well with how things have been going i just had him do it.

shimmy is gone now!!! now i have to direct my attention to the squeaky brakes. but that will wait for now.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE SUGGESTIONS!!! i never thought that a bad motor mount would cause that shake.

and THANK YOU Cat Man for the offers!!!

oh i forgot to give u a follow up! SORRY

well i had to take apart the calipers from the rotor and just put them back on. it kinda solved the vibration issue. guess one of calipers were sticking. it is not as noticeable.
