Alright I just finished driving my ex back out to CA from MN. Noticed while driving a horrible vibration when the car is going downhill... these conditions exsist:
1) downhill while cruise control uses engine for braking, it stops suddenly with little change in RPM
2) when driving downhill, release gas pedal, will vibrate for approx 15 seconds, then stops, speed independent
3) while driving downhill, release gas pedal, then shift into neutral, car still vibrates for approx 10 seconds prior to stopping
When I first felt it in June I thought it might be a U-joint and didn't investigate further, however the U-joints are fine. the vibration is higher frequency and as I said seems to be the same at 40 or 75 and at any RPM
EDIT: when I say "it" stops I am referring to the vibration
