Hi Guys,

The problem you refer to happened to me as well.  As simple as it may
sound, the problem turned out to be a bad motor mount (I just changed
them all instead of just the bad one).  The bad motor mount was located
under the car, kind of near the front stabilizer bar's center.  It was a
%$&* to reach (according to the mechanic) and once it was changed, the
mysterious "shakes" stopped.  Also, I had new springs (Eibach) and an
upper strut tie bar (Neuspeed) put on while the car was down and the
ride has been rock solid and smoother ever since.  Good luck with your
own.
