Jacabean;

Last summer I drove my 2000S on a 300 drive and for the first time noticed a lot of vibration above 75-80mph that had never been there before.

At my destination, the car had an awful odor that I could not place....but the car was running beautifully and all fluids were intact and at the correct levels. On the subequent drives that weekend and on the trip home, the odor was no longer noticable.

A month after I returned home, I had my car on a lift to change gear oil and saw that I had three torn CV boots and grease everywhere, including the exhaust! I changed all four boots on the car last fall.

Last week was the first occasion to have the car out on the interstate.....no more vibrations noted at speed.

Other disclosure: I do have 4 new tires on the car (no alignment done yet). The old tires had no noticible uneven wear.
