Have the tires balanced. While they have the car on the rack, ask them to look at the CV joint on that side.

If the vibration is felt throughout vehicle, have the rear differential fluids changed. Mileage for change is due and the fluids can cause vibrations to be enmitted from the diffrentials. Take note that a special fluid is required and you cannot use other fluids.

Make sure there aren't any solids or pieces of metal in the drained fluids, also.
