doubtfull but a tire out of ballance or a bad strut would more than likely be the culprit, sometimes stock suspension geometry is the bad guy!! are you lowered??

do an alignment for toe, camber doesnt affect much unless very radical.
get new bushings and fill/buy inserts for the rngine mounts.
It will help you a lot
