No, it's not normal. Check the basics first...balance and inspect the tires. If that checks out, look at u-joints or driveshaft issues.

This sponge is usually the insulation they use to space the radiator off the frame of between the radiator and condenser or fans. It shouldn't propose any problems if it's removed just might cause alittle rubbing.

As for vibration, check u joints, tires and wheel bearings.

When my front U-joint went bad, it also warped the front drive shaft. The rumbling above 60 mph stayed since the shop didn't check the run out (straightness) while they had the shaft removed.

If the U-joint is pretty bad you can feel play in it when you move it...
