Shaking/vibrating issues on 2001 ZX3

[tmccord12]

Hi all! I just bought my first Focus, a 2001 ZX3 5 speed. It’s going to be my commuter car most of the time as well as a little side project. It’s a super fun car to drive, I really am surprised at how sporty the Zetec engine is. I just picked it up and noticed that when the car is idiling (or even driving along) there is a pretty solid vibration/some shaking throughout the entire car. When the car is idiling below 1000rpm, it is less noticeable. My guess is the motor mounts are bad. Am I on the right path here?

Thanks!

Sounds like the motormount which is super easy to replace on the older Zetec
