Nope, solely in the steering.

I was thinking it was transmission related and possibly a certain gear but I notice it in 3 and 4 (DCT) so that would be different shafts and different gears, but a steering wheel shake caused by the differential seems even less likely than motor mounts. Who knows...

Thanks for you response.
Nice! sounds like it's not drivetrain related and more like suspension, maybe wheel bearings or suspension linkage. Too lazy to check the original thread again but have they checked the alignment?
