I see you are in mid cities. For years I have used Lane's Automotive in Euless on Midway just west of Euless Main in Euless, just a couple blocks north of 183. Call and talk to Dean or Randy: 817/283-6223

That's pretty low speed for vibration due to a poorly balanced wheel/tire (or a flatspotted one) but that is also a possibility.

what are your suspension mods? i remember way back in the day reading about how installing half-shaft spacers stopped the vibration from this one s2k member's car. not sure if you ever installed a pair, but just a suggestion.
