I used to have a real bad vibration in the drive train (at least thats where I think its comming from. I dont feel anything in the steering wheel or shifter. You kind of feel it going down the center of the car) when going about 2000 rpms in 5th gear. I got the old DS 180'd and it didnt help. Went and had my tires balanced/rotated still didnt help. Bought an aluminum DS and I thought the vibrations were gone. (Should I try to get that 180'd?) However, now theyre back at around 3000 rpms in 5th gear. Im wondering why its showing up again just higher in the rpm range. I know my car needs new front tires and an allignment but im not sure that will fix it.

Edit= Only does the vibe when driving. If I sit there in neutral and rev it the vibe isnt there.

Second problem that just surfaced. When I try to use my left turn signal on the instrument panel the arrow that lights up to the left doesnt go. It does on the right side however. Both turn signals on the outside work though. Also if I try to change the brightness on the instrument panel with the slider the whole thing flickers and goes out. You have to find the sweet spot to make it light up. Does this sound like a loose connection? New dimmer switch? If so where do I check?

Any help is appreciated..

i would check all your motor and tranny mounts.

check the grounds for the lights and bulbs also check the bulb sockets,check it for corrison and rust. usually when one side blinks and the other does'nt its a bulb. good luck.
