Default 98 saturn sl with bad motor shake

at idle i am getting a bad motor vibration. but while driving the car is fine. I did a turn up and did a fuel injection clean nothing changed. I think it might be the motor mounts but idk? If i put my hand on the intake manifold i rock the motor back and forth. i can see the top motor mount but it looks fine where is the lower motor mount and how do u change it ? thanks for your help

Maybe your talking about a SATURN SL,SL1,or SL2. If so sounds like your top engine mount

top engine mount (torque axis mount) is a wear and tear item on these s cars. Support the engine from underneath (floor jack + wood to avoid point force and oil pan damage) to take the stress off the upper mount. Remove the three nuts on the studs going through the mount and the two nuts that hold the mount bracket to the car.

Replace with new upper mount. Be sure to use new studs and nuts.

If this does not address the vibe, we'll look deeper.
