Default 03 TL Type S Vibration

So I've been reading this forum for awhile now, and have found it an invaluable resource.

I've got an 03 TL Type S with 28,000 miles, and have developed a vibration when I reach speeds over 65mph, that I can't seem to get rid of.

I noticed it about 2,000 miles ago, and thought the tires had come out of balance. Went to dealership, had them balanced and it kind of helped, but not a lot. So I replaced both front tires, and still... vibration. Dealership checked the rims, and neither are bent, so they rotated the back's to the front- still vibration. I'm back to having the brand new tires on the front, but still have the vibration over 65mph.

Anybody have any suggestions as to what this might be?, its starting to get annoying.

It sounds like a suspension component since you had done almost everything to elimnate that it is a balancing issue. Sometimes, a simple bad bushing is the culprit of vibration. Is the vibration constant above 65mph or does it go away? What about when you lightly tap the brakes over 65mph?

I don't think new rotors are going to help since his vibration isn't caused by braking at high speed.

Thanks!
It is pretty constant - seems to get worse though the closer I get to 75-80mph. I was starting to think it was suspension issue. I have noticed though, when I brake from high speeds, the brakes do seem to "grate" a bit more than they used to.

I assume you had the alignment checked?
