Any way to check C55 motor mounts?
Hi. I'm getting a vibration while in drive at idle, and research makes me think its the MAF or motor mounts. I will clean the MAF first, and see if that helps, but is there any way of visually inspecting the motor mounts? Thanks.

If you don't have a second person to do what shardul suggested, you can also see if they are leaking any fluid. Usually one will go a little bit before the other but since you're going to be replacing one and doing all that labor, you might as well replace both at the same time.

Mine had actually collapsed and lowered the engine 1/4" from normal....... it was riding really rough..... feels like your shocks are locked or really bad.
