ok steve
describe the symptoms to the great swami.

is the death wobble on corners and if so is it more one side or the other?
is it steady state or under braking or acceleration?
is it worse if you hit a bump?
Is there any particular speed that it happens at?
in short does anything seem to cause it?

Started to notice on corners but now it's any condition and any speed. most prevalent around 30-40 you feel it under normal driving and when braking - it feels as if the wheels are lose but they are not. You do not feel it in the steering wheel but rather in the seats

Got real bad last Sunday on my way home from TF green - rotated the tires yesterday and it

the part about not feeling it in the steering wheel is odd.
I might be suspicious of the rack or tie rod ends.
30-40 is pretty slow for vibration so it has to has a lot of travel so you can feel it.
do the tires have odd wear patterns?

I'll be curious to hear what the shop comes up with.
