Bad Motor Mounts Source of Vibration?

[Bat Masterson]

I have a 96 LC and have vibration at lower speeds/idle and vibatrion/wobble at 65mph or higher. I just had a hunter 4 wheel balance and thougth that corrected the problem but it did'nt.

There's 115,000 on the odometer and have brand new tires. Also told that the front end was aligned when tires were put on by dealer(Springfield Toyota).

The mechanic at Ourisman Toyota said the problem with the low speed/idle vibration might be bad motor mounts that need to be replaced.

He also inspected the front end and did not notice anything leaking or out of the ordinary.

Could this problem be motor mounts or something else? Also, if the original shocks are still on the vehicle, would it help to replace those to absorb any high speed wobble?

do you hear any vibration when you start the truck?

When I start the truck in park with the A/C is on there is some vibration. If I turn it off the vibration goes away. Idle is slightly rough so I don't know if it needs a tune up or if this is an O2 sensor issue.

I also noticed a little dark brown fluid on the outside of the radiator overflow cap..probably needs to be flushed(side note).
