Have you noticed a difference so far?

Too soon to tell since problem was intermittent. I still feel various degrees of vibration when stopped at a red light, but so far not as harsh as before.

In case anyone is wondering, I had this TSB performed and it works. It doesn't make it go away but its noticeable.
