so, the short and sweet is, I picked up this used 06 TL a few weeks ago and really like it w/ the exception of this nasty vibration that comes/goes...it's a real PITA. the car had tires that were only a few months old - nice Toyo touring tires...before I invest money into rebalancing, alignments, etc, I thought it would be really nice to meet up with a member who has a smooth driving TL and do a quick wheel swap and test run...if the vibration stays I know I need to look elsewhere for the issue, it is goes, then I can go ahead and make arrangements for new tires/wheels...

So, if any smooth riding TL owners in the WV/VA/MD area wouldnt mind an hour or less of a quick test, I'd really appreciate it...I have a garage and nice jack and stands at my house, or I'd be happy to do it at your place...just want to figure out this stupid vibration w/out wasting money in the process...I have a friend w/ a G35 that will let me test their rims, but then I'm introducing a whole different can of worms (staggered widths, not hubcentric, etc)...Im in the Winchester, VA area...

Sometimes Bad axles will give you vibration and if lower the car it gets worse.
Check if the car makes noice when you make 90 degree turns left or right.
Possibly the tires need to be balance or you might have rims that have a bent on it

yea, these are pretty much the items i've considererd...it would just be nice to spend an hour swapping wheels and taking a quick ride, before I started spending money at a shop having them check the balance of the wheels/tires, check for bent rims, etc...i'd prefer to save that money and spend it toward new rims/tires if I find that's what I need to fix the problem...
