Down in my big garage looking for the spare coils.
So so much junk in here...
Grrrr

Alright, that's my engine:

As you see, lots of waves, however no vibrations in the cabin.

Ok thank you...
Seems and sound the same. But the vibration in the car is not something I've ever had before the deer .
The only other cushions/bushings I can think of is from the top of the struts?
Spend over an hour with 2 used coils I have switched them out every which way with no change.
Even left the upper engine mount and strut mounts support Bar disconnected didn't change the vibration in the car..
So that's where I'm at...

I know it may be uneasy for your neck, but what happens when you disconnect the steering column from the steering shaft (the one that goes into rubber "plunger"? One bolt only. In theory, if vibration comes through the steering rack, it is transferred to the steering wheel, apparently, and to the chassis through the steering column.

Always questioned the idea of mounting rear engine pad on the steering rack...

Jay, can you put the video on YouTube? Or if not that, anywhere? Dropbox, iCloud, etc. I can pull some strings with the President of the Internet and make it appear here.

Hi Matthew.
Are you talking about my video of the water bucket of water on the engine? It's exactly the same as vlt's video.
I'll have to figure out how i can set up Dropbox, iCloud,Utube etc.
Not the brightest blub in the box here..
