weird vibration after tire rotation and brake resurfacing

I had my TL in last week to get the brakes resurfaced due to their warping, and I figured why I had the wheels and tires off, they might as well rotate them.

After I picked up the car, and drove it home, I noticed around the 35-40 MPH, that a weird vibration is both audible and you can feel it in the gas peddle from the tires.

The ride is not really bumped, however, it feels / sounds like you are driving over the rivets right before a stop sign to warn you it's coming up.

What could have caused something like this to occur?

LOL.... I guess you're a Rick's fan..... that's is Soooooo 80's.... with that vibration problem, check the tires for chops.... if it is, you'll need new tires and alignment.... i don't think chops on tires are NOT covered under any warrenty.... i found out the hard way.... that's why ppl do alignment when they install expansive new tires.

BOBBY LIGHT ... BOBBY LIGHT.... got that on mp3 and laugh at it almost daily

for real, get a speed balance, you may have a bent rim, bad belt, bulge etc.
