Default Shaking steering wheel

Hello fellow cl members,
Thanx for checking out the thread. I'm having a bit of trouble with my 94 Lexus es300. The problem is when I turn on defroster or anything containing to the ac, my steering wheel vibrates enough that my passengers can notice. I am completely puzzled by what is going on cuz I did all of my preventive maintenance on the vehicle a while back. My mechanic doesn't know what's wrong, he said my ac compressor is still strong. Hopefully some of y'all experienced these problems and can offer some advice. Thanx in advance

Check the torque rod aka "dog bone" for dry rot or damage. It could also be bad engine mounts.

What's the best method to find out if your main motors mounts are bad AKA front and tranny mount?

The best way to check your trans mount is to take the drivers side tire off and u can see the trans mount straight ahead
