Default Car Vibration

I've read some theads that addressed a vibration coming from de passenger side of the car or while at a light. I just want to share my experience and maybe hel out someone with the same problem.

At first when I was driving my car it sounded fine, then when I hit a bump, something like a small dip while accelerating the front vibrates and made a sound like a "VOOM" (sorry for the description).
So I read some threads and most pointed the MM. I found that The engine mounting system consist of a four-point system utilizing two load-carrying mounts and two torque struts. The load-carrying mounts are located on each frame rail. The right mount is a hydro-elastic mount and left mount is a conventional elastomeric isolator. The two torque
controlling struts are attached at the front of the engine, straddling the right side load-carrying mount. The upper torque strut connects to the suspension strut tower and the lower torque strut connects to the suspension crossmember.

When people pointed out the MM they are actually refering to the torque trust (upper and lower at the right side of the engine), and this is where the MM inserts go. Know I first changed this torque trust on my car and after that the vibration was way worse then before. I keep reseaching and located the right motor mount (located under de upper torque trust right about the timing belt cover), it held in place by 4 bolts on to the chassis and looks square. It also is held by one bolt on to the motor. I purchased this part and when the mechanic pull out that MM it was totally ripped nad useless. After they installed the new right MM the car is vibration free and very smooth while driving.
Hope this helps someone with a similar problem and if you guys need some more specifics about my fix just let me know.
