Default steering wheel vibrates stopped

Hey guys,

My 93 DX just got an engine swap to a D15B and when in park or neutral its perfect. Put the car in drive though and foot on the brake (like at a stop light) the steering wheel vibrates quite a bit. Anything I can do? its just annoying.

did you upgrade the motormounts??? or put new one's on?? Normally that type of vibration could be from the mounts and any one of the bushings

Mine vibrates a lot as well, but I have urathane motor mounts.

Is your idle set correclty? How about your timing?

mounts are stock. Idle is perfect, it just vibrates the wheel alot....also the exhaust, but that I know is a busted hanger.

It's most likely one of the lower torque mounts the ones that mount to the frame rails down low...

Those tear and allow the engine to shake quite a bit.

The idle is raised and there is more tension when it's in drive as opposed to park... so it's more likely to shake then.
