the most probable cause is a left inner CV joint going bad. quite common. Basically, whole axle assy.

No prob man. Before you hit the dealer, you can check the bolts on the two rear axles and the driveshaft, be sure they have not come loose. Always go to the dealer armed with a little knowledge of the problem. That way they can't BS you.

Hey dohc - is your car supercharged? Do you ever hang out at Orange Julep?

Sometimes a vibration could be as simple as an unbalanced wheel or difference in tire pressure between the other wheels. May wanna check these two issues first before going to the dealership and have them inspect your CV joints / driveshafts etc.

Also, are you driving your car in the snow / ice? if there's a chunk of ice stuck on the inner part of the rim itself, it can also lead to vibrations, perhaps you should wait until temperatures warm up to see if this problem goes away.
