Yeah I know, The NG900 with short belt modification and the OG9-3 with short belt from factory doesn't have any problems with excessive vibrations.
The 9-3 and 9-5 is pretty much the same engine but the only difference is that the 9-5 got a new style power steering system using an aluminum pump instead of that the 9-3 use the older style with cast iron housing as also the NG900 did.
It also seems that the vibrations are magnified when turning the steering wheel so that leads me to beleive that something is not right with that new power steering system in the 9-5.
I have stopped installing the short belt on the 9-5 due to those vibrations showing up (being noticeable) in more than 50% of the cases.
The vibrations are still there with the long belt but are better masked with the extra idler pulley.
