Talking My idle vibration. low speed vibration has fixed

It is been one year since i realize my car has idle vibration and low speed vibration. plus there is jerk when tranny shifts gear. Car has almost 80k miles now. 2003 GS430. I felt bad as my car doesn't drive as comfortable as before. i start to search related topic in CL and try to find out the problem right here. From day first. I change 4 brand new michiline tire. clean throttle body, MAF sensor, change air filter. and spark plug. did four time tranny oil change. problem is still right there. Recently I decide to go with final step. Replace both front strut, and two engine mounts. Bump.....Car drive likes brand new. so solid, Idle is like brand new. Can't even feel the engine is running while stop in front of the traffic light. low speed vibration and shift jerk are totally gone. These does remind me when the car is brand new. engine mount is totally break into two parts when is took off.( wish i could post some pic later ) damn!! Total cost me $600 with LEXUS OEM Parts to get the job done. but it
worth much more than that. it is priceless. Be honest if i still can't fix teh problem. I will sell it and get a another car.
