If the mounts are shot (likely at 120K), you will get a fair amount of motion under the hood during starting and acceleration as well as vibration.
You can easily replace the two upper mounts and the dogbone pretty quickly and see if that makes a difference. The lower mount is more of a pain to get to, and you will need more time, patience and liquid reward for that one. Replacing the others could make enough of a difference to demonstrate that you are on the right track.
Good luck! The mounts are one of the more straightforward DIYs that yield noticeable results and resulting satisfaction.
