Ok sorry to keep this long thread going, but I wanted to let you know I found the culprit of the vibration that I'm feeling while driving 🙂
Per your suggestions, even though the tires were only 2k miles old, I decided to get the front tires balanced.
I took it to an indie mechanic who works on my Toyota. He showed me how there were weights all over the tire ( too many) He put it on the machine and the tires were way out of balance.
I would say 75% of the vibration is gone. I'm going to go back and have him do the rears. ( I am still suspect the motor mount has something to do with all this)
He briefly checked the brakes while I was there too. He didn't seem to think they were sticking. The caliper pins were nice and smooth. He was unsure why the brakes are getting so hot though.
Is it normal for older volvo brakes to run hot ?
I thank you for your help on the driving vibration, 1/2 there. Now to track down the engine acceleration vibration.
