Default Car vibrates when stopped parked or reversed HELP

•1990 Honda Accord
•150k+ miles
Car vibrates/shakes when stopped, parked and reversing?
Can anyone tell me why my car does that? But does anyone know the for sure thing that makes my car vibrate? I heard it might be the brake calipers? If someone doesn't know forsure? Can some give me a list of items and it can be. Thanks in advance

if you mean that the car vibrates when you're stopped at an idle with it in gear and gets a little better in neutral then go change what motor mounts are broken. It can't have anything to do with tires or brakes unless it only vibrates or shakes when moving. if its only when moving then check those two things but brakes only pulse when you push on the pedal and you have a warped rotor or maybe a loose caliper.
the main reason for any Honda to vibrate when its sitting at an idle is motor mounts. Every single Honda in this world will vibrate at one time in its life. put new FACTORY mounts in and you're good.

Motor mounts. And you can spend a ton of money on those and you'll still have some vibration. It's an old car.
