if you have a bad mount you'll hear a clunk sound when you accelerate and the car will shake more than usual when you start it up.

have someone start the car with the hood open while you watch the engine. it'll shake in a circular motion instead of front to back like it should.

I'll check that tomorrow. It just started today. I dont see anything else wrong when i took the wheel out of the driver side. It only does it when i gas.

you can also take a look at the rubbers, then you'll know if one is bad and exactly which one it is.
