Seat Vibration
Has anyone ever experienced vibration in their seats? Above 70 mph, I feel an annoying vibration in my seat but no shimmy in the steering wheel. I put my hand on the top of passenger seat and I can feel it quite a bit. I have a very very minor curb scratch on one of my front wheels but I can't believe that would be the root cause. Checked all wheel tire pressures, all ok. This is a '14 S4, 3K miles and I've never hit a pot hole. Just curious on other's experience, maybe this is normal?

Seriously, no vibrations for me but when I get a different feel on various road surfaces, I always think something went out of whack. It certainly could be a bent wheel but you would probably know if you hit something hard enough to cause it.

No vibration, but the seat on my current S4 has a little FRONT/ BACK movement to it that I did not have in my 2010 or 2014. I know this has been discussed before. Anyone have a quick fix?

Quick guess would be bent driveshaft but that would be pretty hard to do.

Yup that did the trick! The car spent 1/2 day at the dealer yesterday. They unmounted every tire from the wheels and Road Force balanced them by re-positioning on the wheels. I can't detect any vibration now. Service rep told me there is a TSB for Pirelli Summer tires. I was also told the vibration could come back if I rotate the wheels.
