08 tls shudder at idle after new front and side mounts
Hey fam looking for advice. I did the front right engine mount first, used a gsp brand as it came with 3 year warranty ez install and no vibes. Used gsp axles without problems as well. Then got the front motor mount from gsp and installed it a few days later. While installing I had to unbolt right mount to line up front one and noticed right mount had stretched and loosened up a fair bit compared to new but it wasn't ripped or torn. Only minor issue I had installing front mount was air line ripped 1/2 inch down from front mount. Cut it with wire cutters past the tear and jammed it on the new mount and carried on.
car has developed a slight shudder or vibration at idle when stopped at lights that can be felt thru the cabin, even the wife noticed...
I double checked all mount bolts they are good and tight. Is their anything else I can check? Did I stretch my side mount and could that be causing the shudder? Odd as it wasn't there before. Any advice is appreciated! Ps: 08 tl s 6mt @ 175k

sounds like the rear mount is toast and needs to be replaced

Went to check vacuum line on the aftermarket mount and the nipple broke clean off the mount... got an oem mount and installed and vibrations have gotten better. I noticed that their were differences in mount design so I guess this is one of those cases where oem is the only way to go. Will do a rear oem mount in the next few months. I did a video for YouTube for the front engine mount and I was able to do it without removing fans or draining coolant system, will have it posted soon in case anyone needs a walk through. Cheers 🍻
