I just had the thermostat replaced along with the power steering hoses. A week later driving 120 miles round trip I noticed some vibration from the left side upon acceleration. The car did not pull to one side or another, the tires aren't low. Anywhere from 60-85mph I'll get that vibration even on cruise control going up a hill.

    Placebo. Thermostat and p/s hoses are not linked to the symptoms described
    Schedule for a rotate and balance of the weeks.

    Also try the bushings on the front control arms.
