I recently purchased a 2001 GTP special edition sedan. It needed some work (brake lines, front hubs, etc.) which has now been done. I drove it for the better part of a day and everything seemed fine, however now there is a vibration in the front end that feels like I'm driving over a washboard. This only occurs when the car is in drive and moving at or above 40km/h while accelerating. If I rev the engine in neutral this vibration does not occur leading me to think it is something wheel/hub related but both front hubs were replaced less then 24 hours ago. Any ideas?

EDIT: I did some more testing and it only does it when there is someone in the passenger seat, when its just me in the car everything runs perfectly.

Possible CV joint/driveshaft issue would be my guess.
