Thumbs up Lower Dog Bone

Hello all, this is my 1st post.

Just looking for some suggestions on this one.

This is a 2001 2.4L Cav.

I have just replaced my wifes lower motor mount due to hard shifting and WAY too much motor flex with a solid "dog bone" mount, and now at idle, the whole dash and steering wheel is insanely shaky.

I did read there would be vibrations, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

When you turn on the A/C it is even worse.

Is there any way to up the idle a bit? Or does that need to be programatically done in the ECU?

We are idling at around 700RPM.

This car has 47k miles on it and runs great.

Any suggestions would be AWESOME.

Thanks,
Purple Z

This thing is going to flea bay...

Stock replacement from dealership works great.

Thanks.
