Dude when you are wrong at least take the time to be sure about your point before trying to argue it. The differential is mounted in a rigid fashion to the chassis and does not move when going over bumps.

Vibration at high speeds could result in bad CV joints
It may be your wording but I'm interpretting this as you meaning that "vibration at high speeds points toward bad CV joints". If this is so, then it's not quite right. It's more likely that the symptom of bad CV joints is vibration when accelerating under power.

U sure about that?
Trust me when I tell you: When "SlowS2K" states that there are NO U-joints in the driveshaft of an S2000, this information is solid and cannot be proven wrong.

As for the squeak from the right front,mine did the same thing. Found it to be coming from the lower spring seat/rubber pad/lower spring coil area. I sprayed it with white lithium grease....never to return.. I don't know if you have the same culprit,but good-luck

Did you get it fix?
I've just bought a 03 with 33k miles on it, mine does it same thing. I got it balanced today and it's alot better now but still there @ 72 mph. The tires are brand new too. =(
What was the cause?

I think it was the tires, but it's been so long I can't be 100% sure.

Maybe those with vibrations should start a new thread that's more specific to your issues.
