Plugs and wires were replaced 2,000 miles ago on the regular tune-up. The vibration comes from the rear of the car, not the front.

The tires are brand new, replaced 8,000 miles ago, when I bought the car. I did rotate the tires when the vibration started, no change.

And both rear drive shaft U-joints were replaced.

Just an update for anyone with a similar problem:
I rebuilt the rear, and the problem seems to be fixed. I've driven it 75 miles over the past two days, and there is no sign of any vibration yet.
