Vibrations through the steerin' wheel??
Do you mean vibrations at idle??
There is suppose to be some vibrations through the cabin and steerin' wheel at idle if that's what you're talkin' about.
You don't have to use the washer.
I didn't use mine, i think that's washer is for if you have an S/C.

i never upgraded mounts, but if the mounts are upgraded aftermarket, things should be stiffer hence more feeling of the motor in the car.

Ya, vibration is normal with stiffer mount mount bushings. Consider it a small tradeoff. Try driving a car with all solid mounts. Now that feels like Jenna Jameson's vibrator.
