vibration at speed...

Hey guys, a few questions on my newly aquired s5 t2. I am getting alot of vibration at highway speeds plus, and I am wondering how to tighten this thing up a bit. The hood vibrates enough at 80 that the top of it rattles against the engine compartment. It seems that this is also under acceleration and might get better when coasting. So what suspension or other needs replacing you think?

What about engine mounts? Can you go in a garb the engine and move it back and forth? Check the FSM on what to do specifically.

I had the ball joint problem, and a tranny mount problem and that fixed all my shakes and vibrations...
