First have your wheels/tyres dynamically balanced.

Next, get under the car and inspect the flex discs. If you have never replaced them, make this something to do soon. Front is pretty damned easy as the driveshaft will compress easily... rear will make you want to punch a baby.

I drop the center support just enough and slide it back for the extra space, do this by removing the heat shield first. Inspect diff mount while in there.

The rear is easy too if you drop the center carrier down a bit while replacing it.
