have you check tread depth in rear tires?

Did the dealer check the u joints/cv's?

Yes, to both.

mine has this noise/creaking sound when turning steering wheel all the way left or right.. replace control arm and steering rack. still there. sigh... hope you get it sorted out. i purchased extended warranty for extra 3 years.. dont want to deal with this kind of stuff. the steering rack replacement would have costed me 3k or so.

What size rims and tires are you running?

4 out of 5 issues with vibrations are related to tires/rims. In my case it was a rear driveshaft with to much clearance. First they swapped all the tires/rims with a new set to rule those out. The problem persisted. Then they put the car on the bridge and let it run at speed. It was fairly easy to see what was shaking from underneath. I had this issue at highway speeds.

Gotcha. I'm thinking you just gave a good reason to buy a new set of tires/rims!!
