Default Dash and steering wheel shaking at stoplight

Hello everyone I've got some problems with this just purshased 2004 classic 2.2 auto . When I put the car in gear with foot on brake you can feel a vibration in the steering wheel and the dash vibrates not too terrible sometimes but sometimes it does shake pretty good say when you pull up to stoplight. It always shakes some , but sometimes shake bad. Is this something someone has encounterd before ? I thought I would ask before I tear into the dash to look for some loose bolts or start changing some pricy motor mounts. Thanks raffterman

Have you checked your Chevrolet Classic Brake Rotor? Is it warped? If so, then change it; otherwise the only cause for this problem is Engine Mount. Check and replace it.
