    I had all three motor mounts replaced in my Caravan by Firestone today. I
    feel the vibration inside the vehical that I did not feel before. Could the
    reason be that the rubber mounts are new and hard in the cold weather or
    they messed it up somewhere. Any thoughts ?

    the centre mount(front of vehicle) is most likely
    out of adjustment causing the vibration. have them re-adjust the mount

    Are talking about shifting the engine left or right so the drive axle
    lengths are within spec. ?

    thanks,

    I took it back to Firestone. First they said, no we did everything right.
    Then I told them that they just need to loosen all the mounting bolts, shake
    the engine a little and then tighten the bolts to the specs. That is exactly
    what they did and vibration came under control. At least this is what they
    told me what they did. Before I picked up the vehical they called me to tell
    me that the whole engine diagnostics need to be done to remove all the
    vibration because there is misfire etc etc. There may be a little but that
    misfire was there prior to changing the mounts as well. I did not ask them
    to quote anything. I think most of the vibration is now gone. I will myself
    look at the misfires.

    I just took it to them the first time because I wasn;t comfortable doing it
    myself. Anyway, seems like it is OK now.

    Thanks everybody who responded. I just recently started reading this
    newsgroup. There are a lot of helpful folks who frequent this group and that
    is really cool!.
