'05 6MT TSX Vibrations Around 65-75mph

I see that some TL owners post about this issue, but my searches haven't come up with TSX results.

When I coast on the highway between around 65-75mph, I can feel a significant vibrating/shuddering in the steering wheel. It only occurs when coasting at this speed.

In the TL posts, some people are having axles replaced and the problem is fixed, others have transmissions rebuilt/replaced and it fixes the issue.

Who else has had this happen or read about other TSX owners having this type of issue?

I'm coming up on 69K miles and if this is part of the drive-train, I'll call the dealer to see if I can get a warranty check-up type thing but I'm looking for some info you folks might have first.

EDIT: The tires are worn evenly and don't show any signs of being out of balance/alignment. I also had the power-steering recall done and this issue was happening before the recall.

when it happened to me I found out the tires needed to be balanced. After they were done-no more problem.

I'm happy to report you're right and I was wrong (even if it's not about being right/wrong). I was due to replace my tires all around (bought new DWS's) and the shop did a spin-balance on each wheel. Thankfully, there is no more vibration at any speed.
