Default Bad Vibration!

Hey Guys, I need your help.

Just recently i've noticed a really bad vibration in my S. It only happens when I'm driving up hill in gears 3,4,5 and 6, over 4k, its not the clutch because I only had that changed not too long ago. I put the car up on a hoist and noticed one of the Diff mounts were cracked, I have to replace it but do you think this would be the problem? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I expect the broken mount is a symptom of the vibration. Most likely it is the CV cups are worn. Simple fix, swap left to right.

ive seen Raphael Raso car, its lowered pretty hard .

more than likely worn CV's .

*You can raise the car up .
* swap CV's left to right to temporary fix the problem
* buy new CV's .
