Default Feint vibration @ idle

My gf's 2010 IS250 AWD started having some feint vibration noise coming from her front passenger side. Can't point out exactly where or what. But the dealership said it was the struts. So they replaced it under warranty. But it's still doing it. Any idea what it could be? She's stock. She has 18 inches wheels, LFA replicas.

oh yea it's only happening when were at a dead stop. Like a stop sign and such...nothing when driving.

If it's still under warranty i'd say take it back and let them figure out what it is and fix it.

Can you feel the vibration throughout the car while at a stop? That might be carbon build up....but if its just localized to the front passenger side, it's probably something else.

yeah that's what we're planning on doing. No you can't feel it but you can hear it. I hope they'll figure it out.
