Where do you feel the vibration the most; e.g., steering wheel, throttle/brake pedal, the seat, etc.?
I jacked it up again and pulled the boot so I could see the strut rod. There's an inch of play in the actual strut before it starts doing any dampening. I suppose it's the struts actually, not the mounts.
