2001 Dodge Stratus R/T, 5 speed manual - under load, it feels like I’m driving over warning strips in the road, and stops when I coast. The CVJ’s feel and look OK. So do the wheel bearings. Could it be something in the final drive? It happens in all the gears. ---

It is a really strange coincidence that the exact same symptoms are appearing on both your Mitsubishi and your Dodge! As I suggested in the other thread that you created ( [http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/1/2273993.page#2869083](http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/1/2273993.page#2869083) ), my first suspect would be the CV joints.
