Driveline vibration intermitten What would cause an intermittent vibration? First vibrations appeared intermittently about 1 second on and one second off at 90mph-130 very faint.
Doubt wheel balance is to blame. This pretty much happened over night.

Weight on a wheel may have fallen off. Driveshaft could have bent. First step would be to check the tire balance. What you describe seems like vibration causing harmonics w/in the chassis. Is this a manual or auto? If manual, there's been those who've noted once the trans goes into a specific gear (usually a higher gear) there is a vibration. Is your DS stock? Stock steel DS's for these cars are notorious for being bent.

Ill try try the basics. Few days ago took a trip to Tampa middle of the night kept up with a 911 gt2rs and 100-135mph was smooth as silk.
Now I’m afraid to go over 90mph
Newp. Vibration, which you may not feel, cause harmonics which then carry more intense vibration throughout the chassis. There was a recall at least in '96 for steal driveshafts. The solution was for the dealer to install a 1LE aluminum. Mine vibrated from 70 to 80mph. Had to fight for an hour to have them honor their own ******* recall.
