Vibration Through Seat (its not the wheels)

So, a few months ago I house-sat for some people and they lived in the country where I had to take a washboard road to get to their house. Ever since then, I've had this annoying vibration coming through the seat and it distinctly feels like it's coming from the rear driver side. It's also more prominent in the cold. At first I thought it was my wheels (18x8 Konig Oversteer), I thought maybe I bent them or a wheel weight came off; however that's not the case. I took it to the Infiniti dealer and they looked for a few hours and couldn't find a thing wrong with it. Then when I switched to my winter wheels (Infiniti 17x7) the vibration was still there. If anybody could help me out, that would be great! There is no noise either, it's just a consistent vibration that happens every half second or so. My car is a 2002 Infiniti I35. Thank you.

Hey man, thanks for replying, but I don't think it's the tie rods. There's nothing wrong with my steering, my car goes perfectly straight, and there's no strange noises. I was thinking maybe it was the wheel hub or possibly something wrong with the rear multi-link suspension...
