2002 OBW, 5-spd, 35,000 mi: When I operate the car between 40-45 mph, the car vibrates noticeably (must be, the wife notices it too!). Also notice every deep crack in the road or bump sounds "louder" than it used too when you drive over it. The vibration is audible and is even more prevalent in 4th gear at this speed, possibly the vibration matches the normal vibration from the motor at this rpm? just a guess. Tire pressures are all equal. Would anyone suspect alignment and/or balancing issues...or anything to do with the AWD system?

The new message board looks great! I've been away for a while. One of the best things that could've happened to me with my 2002 OBW and this message board was the info on the new clutch fix that surfaced around the time the 2003 model year came out. It was the one thing that prevented me from liking my new car. My dealership treated me right and ordered the parts right away. It's been about 6 months now and 10,000 miles later and it's still running great! Thanks again! Ryan
