Q: I'm getting a vibration and knocking either under my feet or the engine when I do 65+.

asked by on June 14, 2017

Im getting a vibration and knocking feeling under my feet when I do 60+. I do have a torn rear rubber motor mount. Could that be the issue or could it be something else? It almost feels like its my axle but I could be wrong.

My car has 182000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
