If you see excessive movement then one or more of the mounts could be going bad.
One time I've seen a 93 Maxima the mounts were so bad that it looked like the engine was gonna fly out towards you. The owner eventually changed them and it was much better after.

I'll try that when my son stops by this week end. I did have to change a motor mount on my previous FORD but that was at 165k back in 1987. At 60k my car is still new...
