Vibrating steering wheel, armrest, and door (2014 Lexus ES350)

Hi,

I recently purchased a 2014 Lexus Es350 from Carmax with 78,000 miles and overall the car has been running smooth. It was inspected by a mechanic prior to purchase who said the car was in good shape and well maintained. The only issue I have is that when I shift into drive the steering wheel will vibrate more and I feel some vibrations on my seat and armrest. Is this normal for a car with this mileage and the 2GR-Fe V6 engine? I already had the passenger side motor mount replaced as the Carmax service department said this was the only mount with visible damage. Could it be the driver side motor mount or something different? Thank you!

 

EDIT: I have already changed the air filter and cleaned the MAF sensor. Likewise, the vibrations die down in Neutral or Park.

When rubber on engine or transmission mounts gets worn, that's what happens. I got a 2007 lexus with no issues luckily. Another trick is the idle air control valve idling to low close to stalling the engine, and causing damage. If it's a quick clunk its the ujoints.
