They haven't checked motor mounts yet.

But whats weird, is that its not consistent. Cooler mornings it seems worse, other times its completely gone the same day, even when its a cold start.
To me it feels like the driveshaft gets a bit out of balance, but only sometimes. Seems that if it starts a trip with vibration, it stays that way for the whole trip. If it starts with no vibration, it stays that way for the trip.

Anyone had similar? Can the driveshaft act like this? Has anyone had a driveshaft replaced?

Don't think thats possible.
