i never have the problem with stock 18" but with 19" aftermarket i had vibration going between 65-75 mpg. wondering if the 19 causes a rougher ride than the 18"

I am still having the vibration!! This sucks!! Audi Manhattan tells me that they can't do anything else for me. Had the car in 3 times and after numerous wheel balancing and replacement of one tire still the vibration starting at 65mph and stops at 80mph. They tell me it is not the control arm and have no plans on replacing it. It is more intermittent now but anyone have any ideas the next step? I've got an 09 A4 Prestige 3.2, anyone resolve their vibration?

I have a 2009 avant with 18 in rims and I have never had any vibration. I do get the shimmy when I turn at 5mph or lower when parking but nothing else. Guess I am lucky so far, knock on wood.

I have a new 2009 A4 Cab, and I noticed the vibration at 65-75 from day one. I've brought it in twice to the dealer, they balanced the tires and replaced some. They claimed they road tested it and it was fine, but I still get the vibration. Very uncomfortable feeling.
When I test drive with my local dealer he tells me it's the road and the fact that the car ride stiff. Ridiculous. Strangely enough, at about 80mph the ride is very smooth.
What are my options here? I'm bringing it back in, should I insist on new rims, or control arm?

Got my control arms fixed yesterday. About 80-90% of the vibration is gone. There is still some left but not sure if it's just my imagination.

Just an update:
after the job above --- Audi took my car back for a few more days towards the end of January to check out the residual vibration. According to them, they replaced the last of factory-delivered Pirellis. That didn't do too much to improve, so I had scheduled a test drive early this week with the Field Tech who thought it might have been the driveshaft.
Anyhow, I've been called to pick up the car today (Friday) saying its ready (after four days) but did not seem willing to share much details on what was done. I guess I'll take a look tomorrow and see what happens
I have been in touch with the Owner already and Head Office to communicate my concerns and diminishing patience.

A poster on another forum had his 45K maintenence done and had this to say:
They did fix the low speed shudder! (TSB2020332/4) New hose!
Can anyone confirm this?
