I'm having a similar problem,  but I've removed the drive shaft and no
change.
After several sets of tire swaps, and greasing the CV joints I've come
to the
conclusion that I have a VVC, ( vibrating viscous coupling).  Moines are
flowing faster out than in these days, so replacement is not going to
happen any time soon.   My VVC has been overly aggressive for years
now, and my fix for this was a de-coupler. Now I'm thinking, that
I should drain the fluid out of the VVC to see if the fluid is what is
causing
the out of balance.    Comments?
