Hook up a vacuum gauge to a port that has vacuum at it.

Master tech I notice it more in drive then park. Could it be my tranny mount. The engine doesn't viberate as bad as the steering wheel could it be power steering pump or power steering pressure switch.My steering is kinda stiff I noticed. I was under the car today jacked up with the engine running I felt the rack,on the pass side I felt no vib. On the drive side were the steering shaft mount to the rack I could feel vib there.
