Default Vibration while on Drive Gear

I have notived for quite some time that me 2004 RX330 has a bad vibration while on Drive gear. I have had my truck for about 15 months now and when i first got it they had to change my motor mounts and I cant remember if when Toyota did the repair is my car vibrated so much. Now while I am stopped at a light I have a bad vibration all in the front if I put it on Neutral it stops....my husband thinks it's the motor mounts that need to be changed but they did this at Toyota (where i bought the SUV) about a year ago...

there can be any number of mounts, usually 3. and some of them contain fluid for dampening purposes. (not very often)

so perhaps, they didnt change all of them and now another one if gone, or possibly one of the ones they installed has gone bad.

i would return to the place who replaced them, they will at least have on file what was done previously and go from there.

What's the idle rpm when fully warmed up (in drive)?

if one mount is damaged, it could be putting undue stress on the others, thus causes additional wear and tear on them.

i wouldnt not drive it, but i would avoid unnecessary trips til its properly diagnosed. (this forum doesnt count as a diagnosis) lol
