Hi Rick

  One prolific list contributor, Scott Turbovans, always chimes in with
"Re-Check the last 'fix' you've done when you encounter a new problem"  Good
Advice, for sure.  You may want to make sure you got the shocks in there
properly.  Motor mount, that is a good guess...Lug nuts could be loose,
too.  Or the "front" transmission mount could be worn.
