Lower Control Arm Bushings
OP I am thinking if you have an 2005 its possible that the control arm bushings are worn out, and thats causing the movement you are talking about, it it resolves itself in movement in the car as you let off the gas or accellerate causing torque steer aggravated by control arm movement.
Engine/transmission mounts are pretty sturdy in the Cobalt, rotated mounts aside...
so have someone take a close look at the control arm bushings. Here is a picture of worn control arm bushings in an automatic 2.2 2005 with steel arms
Hope this helps.

UPDATE: Replaced rear bushing 11/19/2012; it pretty much looked like the above. Has anyone ever had the below problem with the front bushing?
This kept the "ears" from lining up with holes in the frame. It took a long time, but we finally got it back to the left enough to get the arm remounted.
