[s-cars] weird vibration on 94 S4?!?!

[Angelo Alexopoulos]

Darin,
I also thought that it was just once section of road as well. And then I
found several other stretches of highway that had the same type of left hand
sweeper and it happened again. It is not a bent rim and the tires are fine.
I thought initiallly it might have been the Blizzaks acting funny but come
summer time and the SP8000's went on, same problem. When the new suspension
goes on and the new bushings are in place we will see if it comes back.
