A couple times now ive had a funky vibration with some smoke at 90mph,
then it got bad, then it went away. I pulled over to investigate the
smoke and found absolutely nothing wrong. As soon as I noticed the smoke
bollowing from the rear I thought for sure I had a problem and
immediately started checking guages. Everything checked out fine. So I
jump back in the car and resume cruize speed. 

A few weeks later I check under the car to find NO passenger side inner
CV boot. 
That splained alot. 

Its easy to check too.
