Default 2002 tech?

I am having trouble with a bad vibration turning up around 2000rpm. It sounds like it's coming from the front by the engine. It has no codes and idle's and runs great until it gets up around 2000rpm+. I also notice it kind of loads up on the way down from 2000 to about 1500. I have only did tune ups and put a exhaust on this car and it has been almost a year since I've done anything but the normal oil changes. The car has been a true performer, never had a hickup but this vibration seems to be getting worse. Does anyone have any idea's or experienced the same thing? Thanks

Default Vibration

I heard a while back about the front dampner comming loose on these engines, I may be loose,( the center bolt) and has twisted, be careful I do believe it runs the oil pump, so go take a look,It couldn't hurt too look..

Thanks for the input, Its a auto and I will check the dampner bolt tommorrow. I have the service manual so I been looking through that to, but without a code it's kind of hard. O-well, just in time for the weekend.
