When i shift gear(automatic) into drive the car vibrates. At red light i shift into neutral so that the vibration will stop. Abt 1000 miles ago i had FRONT END accident where bumper/radiator and radiator support replaced..and fender repaired but engine was ok but since then the vibration started, engine mounts????
thanks

Hello,

It does sound like you might have a defective engine mount.
So when the engine under load it vibrates.
If you need mounts, you should be able to visibly see the engine shake when you pop the hood with engine running. Usually revving the engine will make it vibrate quite a bit.

Also the primary engine mount is in the front, right behind the radiator.
It is a good chance that it got damaged during the accident.

I have attached the diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
