One guy is willing to go for a ride to help diagnose the problem. BUT I was going to take a trip with it next week but my son tested positive for covid this week so it looks like me and the car will be staying home this week and next. He seems to be doing ok, mostly a cough and slight fever. He is on meds and Vitamins and responding well. All the car repair shops are slammed right now, not sure if it the holiday coming up or everyone has need for some kind of repair.

When I had it in the beginning of this year I found that using a Saline nose flush twice a day was a great help!
Even if you get it you should get thru it fine and then have the better natural antibodies in your system that last longer and without complications from pathogenic priming !

It’s an issue of movement bad bearings or bushings load should change it.

Well problem solved, I called the tire shop that put the tires on and I all I wanted was to check the balance, he was so booked up he couldn't get me in until next Thursday.
So I decided to rotate the tires just to waste some time. I noticed that some lugnuts we're damn hard to get off. Rotated the tires and made I tightened them up using the star pattern. Took it out up to 80 no vibration, threw it neutral no vibration. I think the lugnuts we're in various degrees of torque even though I made sure they were tight before I started trouble shooting this. Thanks for all the suggestions, I at least went through a few things that I might have not checked.

Food for thought for others:
If you have a similar vibration, don't trust the guy with the Impact Gun, Remove the lug nuts, swap the tires around if all the same or side to side if different sizes, and road test the car/vehicle again, AFTER using the mentioned "Star Pattern" on the Lug Nuts as you mount the tires and torque the nuts to spec. Easy enough to do with a simple Hydraulic Jack and GOOD Safety Stands. Glad it worked out for you. Tom V.

Thanks Tom, that's exactly what I was thinking when removing the lugnuts. That a couple were impacted too tight and when they used the torque wrench to finish, those were already way too tight.
Glad it just took some sweat and a new set of u joints, I don't feel bad about those though. If my son is better and I don't have any issues I still might be able to make that trip.

Great point. The steel wheel mounting flange is like a spring when a lug nut is over-tightened, it can distort.
