Most likely your engine mounts

Power brake , hold brake and gas at same time, while someone outside the vehicle has the hood opened,
you will see the engine lift on the side that the mount has failed on.

willing to bet you have a failed engine mount

mine has 67k miles and needs to be done,
am doing This week
