Still some vibration / shudder

Well guys,

After fucking with the stealership and getting the run around when my 2007 with 60k was vibrating the guts out of me every day, it turned out it was the the back brakes warped, so i had them changed and i must say its 100 times better on the highway now, the only thing is im thinking that vibration might have been masking another issue, because even though it doesnt vibrate at high speeds anymore, its like i can always feel a slight vibration or shudder, ive had people in with me who say they dont notice it but i deffiently do, i can feel it in the arm rest a little bit and in my seat. it seems to be ok when i get up to speed but it can be felt pretty noticably when accelerating or slowing down to a stop. I dread having to take it back to the stealership even though it is under warranty but they really lack common sense as most of you probly know anyways. What do you all think?

Are you still running stock tires?

Just changed my tires out for a brand new set of duratracs, i was hoping the stock tires were my problem but im still getting the vibration/shudder feeling. It seems to be present mostly between 40 and 60 km/h.

I would have guessed tires also -- a small vibration I can understand since no road is 100% flat. I have a little vibration in my 07' with stock tires and 52,000 + miles, but nothing out of the ordinary. I know I'm due for a tire rotation and possible alignment. Maybe you need your tires balanced. That can make a big difference.

I've actually had them balance last night when i got my new tires. I was thinking for a while it was just the roads but my street just got paved and its brand new black top and i still get the vibration. I had it checked at the dealership, im thinking its ujoints or driveshaft, maybe i should try another dealership since its still under warranty. why do i have the feeling that if i had no warranty they'd have no problem finding the cause lol
