Hi all, just want to double check my suspisions really. sat on idle the engine rocks side to side a lot and you can feel it in the cabin too. I assume this is engine mounts and was thinking of going to polys. but will they give the same rocking affect where theyre harder? Thanks

No because the motion is caused by the pendulum effect of the engine wobbling, the opposite forces are the car wobble. When it's rigid you just have the pistons causing opposite forces which is up and down. So get some
