Just had my 50K service done(the only service I'm paying for). I had 13 issues for repair/correction.
The vibration issue was of course at the top. They told me that they verified it again but that this time was caused by worn wheel bearings so they replaced front bearings and hubs and noted that this completely fixed this issue.
I was very skeptical as the characteristics were identical to the first two times. After picking up the car I immediately as I pulled out and accelerated moderately that the issue was completely unfixed.
What was fixed was a barely audible metal on metal noise coming from the front right that I could only hear before while going over rough pavement with the drivers window down so this did fix something apparently.
I notified the service adviser and he said he ordered the cv shafts but that they are on back order and it will take several months. No duh. They are on backorder because until they limit torque when these joints are at angles of anything more than 5 degrees, they're going to self destruct and spread the splines causing free play.
