Not to sound ungrateful
but wouldn't those problems (CV, wheels, etc) cause pulsing all the time?
I can drive this for days and it purrs like a (diesel powered) cat. Then out of nowhere the pulsing starts, might go on for a mile or two or three, then slowly fade out and back to normal.
I've tried everything I could think of while driving... hard steering, bumps, holes, accelerating in a turn, braking in a turn, etc. Can't seem to trigger it or make it go away, it has a mind of it's own.
For what it's worth, I drove it ~100 highway miles this morning with no problems at all. My wife took it out this afternoon only to bring it back in under 10 mins because of "scary rumbling".
Will have it to the mechanic's tomorrow, this is starting to worry me (safety), will post what I find, if anything.
Part of me is worried my mechanic might want to change the whole front end. He's prone to that sort of behavior.
