I think it's the driveshaft not being replaced the way it was originally. Reason I say this is because I have the same problem after doing mine. I was under the car, saw the rear was marked with yellow paint per the Bentley, and began removing the front end of the driveshaft (I didn't remove the entire piece, just the front).

When I was removing the front, I didn't mark its position thinking about the marks on the rear and assuming they would be on the front too. Since I was in such a rush I didn't even realize the front wasn't marked at all. Now I have the same exact vibration, except mine is a little sooner. Did the tire thing, road force balanced, etc., etc.

I think I have to have the driveshaft rebalanced, but don't know how I would go about having someone do it since I imagine it has to be done on the car with all 4 wheels moving to balance it as it rides.

Tried wheel balancing and alignment which helped a bit. Eventually tunrned out to be a CV joint which was replaced under warranty. A common problem on the AR I believe.
