There are two systems in the 9000 to dampen vibrations. One is counterbalance shafts, but they primarily work above 1500 RPM or so. The other is fluid-filled motor mounts, and they work more at idle, so they sound like the culprit. The link below describes the surest way to check the lower front mount, which is usually the one that fails.
This link shows the general engine compartment layout: http://quasimotors.gar.net/false_bulkhead.htm. The big aluminum arm at the left rear of the engine is the torque arm. If your mount has been bad for any length of time, the rubber bushings in the torque arm will be shot. You can check that just by opening the hood and looking.
