I assume this is a turbo 617 diesel because it has the engine shocks. As I recall, the shocks only damp engine motion during starting and, especially, shut down. They should have practically no effect on a running engine. So I'd recommend a good look at the motor mounts; these are cheap enough but a bit harder to change on a turbo engine (because of all the other stuff on the right side of the motor). If your motor shakes a lot at idle, suspect unbalanced (maybe bad) injectors or the damper bolt in the IP (a cheap and easy fix). But if your engine is really hitting the frame, your mounts have got to be bad.
