At highway speeds, it seems to occur after goin into passing gear. It also seems to be more noticable if I have additional passengers in the car, particularly in the back seat. It almost feels like something in the drive train is out of balance, or possibly a mis-fire, but engine power seems smooth and I get no check engine light. It's not tires, as I've had them checked (both sets). Had the front axle boots checked at each oil change and they are not torn, but I suppose it could be worn CV joints. Car had 56k when I bought it, now has 68k. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

I would check the engine mounts and the front wheel bearings.
