A very rapid tickeling that I feel through my seat back. I've had the wheels balanced, checked the alignment, its still there. I searched the archive, but there were so many possibilities presented that I dont really know where to start. Should I just take it to the dealer and say "Fix it" or is there something more specific I can look for?
Any input would be extremely helpful...

Colin, like you said, there were so many possibilities when you searched the archive, and, most of the people who posted those possibilities are the same ones posting here. I know that doesn't much consolation, but, it's hard to diagnose when you're actually involved -- much less when you're getting it second hand on the net. I know I had a similar vibration in my car and it turned out to be a slightly warped rim. Once I changed my original 92 rims to Leo's 94's, the vibration was gone. I had another vibration at lower speeds -- actually it was more of a shudder, which turned out to be the tranny (mismatch in gear ratios from the Legacy tranny to the SVX rear diff). Still others have had to replace axles before their vibration went away. I think you should take it to someone you trust and have it checked out. As many different diagnoses that we can give you, I can almost guarantee you, you won't be comfortable until you have it checked out for sure.
