Not sure if this is normal or not. Today when driving my AWD Mountaineer I noticed a very slight vibration when I let off the gas around 40 mph. You can feel it nowhere except in the gas pedal. Vibration may be an exaggeration, it kinda feels like a buzzing. If I get back on the gas just a little bit the buzz/vibration goes away. The vibration stops around 30, and starts around 50, if I am coasting. If I put the car in neutral while coasting to a stop the vibration is non existent. I hardly drive this car as its my wifes daily driver but today I took it to the store and noticed it. Not sure if its always done this or what. I had the trans flushed about 4 thousand miles ago, seems to drive just fine, any ideas? Is this normal? Anything to be concerned with?
 






Sounds like it could be a wheel bearing?
 






Thats what I thought also, but it goes away when I put the truck in neutral.
