The rear mount (torque mount, it's called) apparently can collect small rocks and other debris which will then cause more vibration to be transmitted. I replace mine (very easy to do) but didn't note any debris trapped in the old one, and it didn't make a big difference. Changing the two mounts under the hood (transmission/left side and motor/right side did result in improvement, but not elimination, of the vibration. Also a pretty easy job. I did use aftermarket Chinese mounts from Rockauto though, so maybe I need to try genuine Ford. Also wondering if it might resonance in the exhaust system for some reason. Not sure why that would develop though.
