The neighbor has an issue with vibration in their Vue. I took it for a drive and it happens on corners, mainly when the suspension unloads, and even more noticeable with acceleration. Vibration isn't really felt in the steering wheel.

Info:
2002 Saturn Vue, V6, AWD
147,5xxx miles

Thinking possibly CV joints and/or worn suspension bushings.

Other:

Has had P0128 code for Thermostat for years... which means it also has stock spark plugs. He doesn't want to pay for the labor from a shop ($400+) to get it changed because you have to pull the intake manifold and some other stuff.

Uneven wear/cupping on inside shoulder of driver front tire.

Harder to turn right then left.
