My car seems to vibrate at different speeds. Its not tires because its a quick vibration or shaking. At first I thought it was just the road. I had the rear axels replaced and shortly after that I started noticing a vibration that felt like the road was a washboard. I did not think nothing of it then it started happening more. It feels just like you run over a washboard road for a split second sometimes longer. I would turn around and go back over the same spot to see if it was the road and I could not make it do it. My coils are going bad but that is a miss not a vibration. Any know problem with these cars that cause this.

Would you call it a shudder? Is it more consistent at the same speed or gear shifting point?

Well you might call it a shudder. Feels more like I ride over a wash board. It does not have anything to do with shifting, it is not at a shift point. It happens at different speeds. However Higher speeds are more agressive wash board feel. Today I noticed more coughing of the bad coils and feel that might have something to do with it. But again its like driving over a bunch of ripples in the road. Like the ripples to warn you you are going off the road.
