So my QX has this odd vibration. It seems to intensify if the Climate Control is on, and the transmission is in D. It also does this in R,2 and 1. The All Mode knob is set to 2WD, but with the snow I have been switching back and forth between Auto and 2WD when necessary. It doesn't seem like it's a U-Joint but I have been wrong before. Any ideas?

Do you have any idea where it could be emanating from?

Perhaps a motor or transmission mount has excessive play. See this guide for instructions on checking engine mounts.

It seems to come right up the steering wheel. I'll check motor and trans mounts once it stops raining.
