It isn't a tire issue, tires are brand new and I've had the balance checked.

Not worn shocks, they're brand new Bilstein HD's. Problem was present before and after the shocks were replaced, no change.

Latest service was flex discs and center bearing. Flex discs were cracked and ROCK HARD, bearing carrier had decomposed, bearing was rough. Replaced everything, made sure the DS was aligned. No change, but the really rough gear engagement is now gone.

Checked the U-joint while I had the DS out. Was nice and tight, didn't have any noticeable ratcheting or notchiness to it.

Car is smooth as silk up until that vibration kicks in. It comes on very suddenly when you get to the right speed.

Where should I be looking? I'd suspect if the DS had an issue (bent?) that I'd have vibration throughout the driving range. Diff issues? Halfshafts? Something else?
