When I drive on roads that are very wet (enough to splash undercarriage), my car vibrates pretty horrendous. I don't have any abnormal noise or vibrations when roads are dry. Inspections of drivertrain don't seem to detect anything: axles, wheel bearings, universal joints, or carrier bearings. I also experienced this with my previous trans and transfer case, and doesn't seem to be getting worse with time.
Was wondering if anyone had any ideas? Can't crack this one and don't want to buy parts I don't need to diag.
 
It's most likely just the vibration from the undercarriage splash itself. Nothing to worry about as long as it's fine when the roads are dry.

Definitely not too worried, but to clarify this is a rather substantial vibration. Like driving on the rumble strip magnitude, which has me believe it is something other than the splashing itself.
 
Are all your tires evenly worn? As I'm sure you know it's pretty essential to have even tires on an awd. If they're uneven but shouldn't be then you can start troubleshooting.
Good thought, and again I omitted some important details. This occurs on both by winter and summer tires, both of which are on separate balanced wheel sets. Wear is even, and I am pretty good about rotating.
