Exclamation Engine Shakes!

I had the engine running just the other day and whilst I was checking the coolant and oil, I notice my engine shake quiet abit. When I mean it shakes I can put my hand on the engine n feel it move a little and this is without revving it.

My idle and vacumm is perfect so what are a few things to check?

Would changing the engine mounts and adding an engine torque brace solve this problem?

when was the last time you did a tune up? check your spark plugs and maybe change your fuel filter. also does it get worst if you rev it?

take a look at your motor mounts and maybe get an engine damper.

An exhaust shop said that my motor mounts were 'a little soft' when they were down there fixing my down pipe.

As for servicing, plugs, oil etc have been changed very recently.

The motor mounts would be my first bet... get them checked out to see how soft they really are...
