240 vibration on takeoff 200

1984 240 with an M-46....Its got a vibration on takeoff because the engine is torquing too far to the passanger side and cocking the driveshaft at on odd angle...

These parts are new...

*Engine and transmission mounts
*Driveshaft center support, bearing and spring
*Torque rod bushings

*The trailing arm bushings are good, got a few opinions on those along with my
own judgement.

Is there an updated mount for these cars, or maybe ive got the wrong mount in there, anyone seen this????

As I noted before, the engine is torquing to one side too much, all bolts tight, and the rear end cant be causing the harendous shudder i get, unless it was blaently loose, as if it could steer the car, it wont vibrate like it does (and changing the torque rod bushings fixed the rear steer peoblem on acceleration)....I used scan-tek mounts, im gonna change them out with factory ones and see what happens.

It cant be a u-joint either, had the driveshaft out to do the center support, u-joints are good

Are you sure you don't have some u-joints binding?

I'd re-check the engine tranny mounts for possible early failure. The Volvo green manual list 2 shorter torque rods(5mm and 10mm) to reduce vibration during take off. Same thing could be acomplished by using the IPD adjustable ones.
