In my experience bad engine mounts usually make a groaning noise
when cold or the car shakes at idle.  The mounts don't usually look
really bad but @ 110k mi. I'd replace them if you are wanting to
fix up the car they are a common ailment on high mileage SE-Rs.

Your CV joints could be the cause as the boots are to keep the joint
lubed and clean.  Its likely lost a lot of the grease now and even
allowed dirt in.  Do you hear a clicking noise when turning?  that
is also a sign.  A new axle is best but you can look into a rebuild
if you are on a budget.

Hope that helps...
