Does the vibration feel like it's coming from the front? Or the rear? Does it seem to be a balanced vibration or does it feel unbalanced (as in a vibration you feel more on one side of the car vs a vibration in the middle of the car)? Maybe engine mounts or tran mounts if you feel it out front.
I can check the CVs but not sure engine load would affect them that much. But I'm used to FWD CV things.

Vibration is definately central. Can't tell if front or rear tho. I remember my first impression to think mid/rear... But once I remembered about the harmonic balancer issues with these - my paranoia is aimed more towards the front lol. Might have to sneak under there this weekend and inspect both.
