Yeah whats the big deal with AWD? I wonder what causes the vibration issues? The only thing I can think of, is back in the day when I lowered my truck, I used blocks for the rear and they were not angled and then i got a drive shaft vibration. I took those out and angled them to the proper degree with a band saw and put them back in and the vibration was completely gone. Dunno if it has to do with anything like this, I'm just spitballing.

i read that the rear axle and the extra added weight from the AWD components, and the struts (which need to be upgraded to accommodate the lowering springs) play a part in lowering AWD cars and the vibrations experienced there after.
