Okay, I'm resurrecting this thread, but I think it's justifiable.
The car was taken to a good tire shop, and they swapped the front tires to the rear and put in new front tires and balanced them. The back tires were fairly old, but there wasn't anything dramatically wrong with them.
The vibration seems less noticeable, but it's still there. I wasn't too concerned about it because between the onset of summer and my dad getting a motorcycle that he likes to drive to work on sunny days, this car wasn't getting a lot of driving.
I got under it today, and it looks like the rear tranny mount is letting it move too freely, but I'm not really sure.
I'm attaching some pictures I took of the mount and the flex disks. The flex disks don't really look bad, although the surface on the front one is disintegrating a bit. I'm not really a good judge there, so I'm posting the pictures.
EDIT:
I should mention, I did push up on the driveshaft, and there's no noticeable flex in it. Pushing up on the tranny will get it to move, although not much. Then again, I am admittedly fairly wimpy.
