Agree with all above
Subframe bushings would be the rears and the symptom is a clunking you feel under your feet going over bumps.. I replaced all mine, but the rears were the only ones that made a real difference. Put car on jack stands and then put the jack under the subframe. Lift and check for movement.
Engine mounts generate engine vibration at stoplights, particularly on a grade. You can see the engine move if you open the hood and put it in gear. The transmission torque mount tends to go first in my experience, and it is easy to replace. Both top motor mounts are also easy to replace. Passenger side seems to go first. You may want to replace the serpentine belt and check the pulleys while you are at it. Bottom rear is difficult but doable. You need 2 long extensions with a swivel in between.
