Angry Please Help

I have a 2000 Camaro SS that I just replaced the stock front and rear sway bar bushings and endlinks with Energy Suspension stuff. I also added the transmission mount from Energy I have picked up a bad vibration. Is there a certain way you are suppose to tighten the endlinks and bushings on swaybar so it isn't too tight or loose as heck. I read some posts about the trans mount causing problems why would this be I wonder. Thanks in advance for your help

It's more than likely the trans mount. They are known for tranferring vibrations on a lot (but not all) of cars.

Trans mount!

I went through the same thing over 5 yrs ago.

Cut/grind off the 2 pre-load bumps on the E.S. trans mount then remount it; problem solved!
