Perhaps you notice that shakes as the car is warming up but then notice it smoothing out when it reaches temp?
He actually stated that it shakes more at higher temperature. So does mine. I was about to change the engine shocks on the theory that as they heat up, the internal shock valves lose damping ability - but since your's are relatively new my theory become questionable. Driving around town, mine is pretty smooth. Coming into town after 60 miles or so on the highway and I've got a lot of shake. Maybe hot engine shocks is not the reason?
