Vibration when using AC

Guys,

I noticed that when i have the AC on the car seems to shake a lot more then id expect it to do. (2003 TL S)

The majority of the problem seems to occur when im at a dead stop though (car in drive, but stopped at a light or in traffic) WHen i start moving again the problem is not noticable at all.

Also, if i bring my car into PARK the problem also goes away. Could this be two different shaking motions combining together, one from AC and one from being in drive that cause the problem?

Sorry if this description is a bit off but im doing my best with it. Its not an easy problem to describe unless you sit in the car.

might want to have the motor mounts checked to see if they are shot. Also slight vibration is normal with the air at a dead stop in gear

Yeah i was thinking it might be those damn engine mounts.

I test drove a CL S (03) x2 while looking at which one to choose and they all had very massive vibration at a dead stop while in drive.

This car does not really have as much of a vibration that you can feel and more of one you can hear fairly well. Its kinda annoying .

I will have some Acura repair shop look at it to try to get what i can taken care of under warrenty.
