question about a vibration I got a 02 z28 a4, every time i get up to about 60 and let off the gas it has a very annoying sort of shutter. it almost feels/sounds like the driveshaft is off balance but i have no idea. It only does it from about 60-75 anything over or under makes very little if any vibrations. I just thought id get your guys ideas about it before i go to get it checked out and fixed, its very annoying so im open to any ideas. It doesnt affect the performace of the engine at all though, it ran 13.5 et a few weeks ago bone stock. thanks for the ideas.

You only have to have the fronts balanced. The reason why the rears are balanced is for rotation purposes. It wouldnt hurt to have your front wheels checked to see if they were balanced. Check your mounts and u joints like mentioned before.

I had the same issue in my 94 z28 a4. But it had the steel driveshaft, which were notorious for going out of balance. It did the exact same thing though, vibrations from about 65 to 80. Anything over or under were pretty smooth. I'd definitely check the drivetrain out, from the tranny back.

no its not near that bad, it doesn't make any sound really at all when accelerating and you can really hear it to much, Its just a vibration, its not like crazy loud to where it makes my car undriveable like the video, its just I drive 7 or so miles to work on the freeway and thats when its irritating. So should i take it to just a normal car repair place or a tranny shop?
