Hey guys, first time post, correct me if I did anything wrong

I just turned 18 and I know nothing about repairing my 80 series, it's got around 340k miles, and it's making a strange vibrating coming somewhere from the front end on the passenger side. I've done some research on this website and I can't find anything, some similar threads said sparkplugs, but from my understanding that is most noticeable when the engine is at lower rpm, on other car forums, people have said engine mounts, but those look fine on my car, one thing that could be the issue is that the exhaust could have something wrong with it. The only work I have done on it recently is replacing the alternator.

Any help would be appreciated :)
 
Solution
It sounds like something loose. Check for loose panels, muffler parts, missing bolts. you're going to have to get under the car and start gently moving things.
So, what did you fix?
alright, drove it, worked fine until about 60-75 mph, now it's doing the same exact thing, which is strange, it did not vibrate whatsoever with the heat shields removed, and I guarantee that the shields are on correctly and tightly.

Edit: Also at the 2000-2200rpm mark, it's also slightly less aggressive.

found the leak, it is indeed and exhaust leak, just did not look far enough
 
Thank you all for taking care of my Firstborn Son. You are a good group of guys.
 
all fixed after two ish weeks, turns out when I was replacing the alternator I pulled out one of the wires for the spark plug, runs like new now

all I needed was to plug a wire in :rolleyes:
