Did you ever notice a slight vibration at ~60 mph? That was my symptom of the driveline/pinion angle issue, vibration at 70 mph and the picture above at 141 mph.

I have noticed a slight vibration, but it was something that woudln't always present itself. Sometimes it would be there and other times it wouldn't. Regardless, I'm planning on taking it to a shop (driveline?) to get taht aligned first thing.
