I do know that the trailing arm bushings need to be replaced here pretty soon, but I did just replace the front lower ball joints and tie rods a couple weeks ago.. Suspension was all just redone a few months ago with Koni/Ground Controls.

Car was also aligned about 5,000 miles ago to these spec's.

Front:
-1.0 camber / Toe is zero'd

Rear:
-1.75 camber.

Did you get it aligned after the Koni/GC install?

Seriously, check the wheel bearings. They dont necessarily make noise before you feel them. Had this happened to me, changed the bearings and it was all good.
I know exactly what you're talking about. You accelerate and it "vibrates" for a bit until the car gains more momentum/speed and then stops vibrating.

How do I go about checking the wheel bearings? I inspected the hub for play and any visible damage when I replaced the axles but it seemed everything was solid. There was no sign of play or anything loose when trying to shake it by hand.
