Well, two months after I installed the shims, I´m happy to say that the vibrations dissapeared, so if somebody suffers the same problem I recommend buying and mounting the shims, they were very cheap (about 18 euros in the dealer).

Thanks!

Thanks for following up. Not everyone does that.
2011 XC70 T6 - current
2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Q2 - Totaled in 2022. Not my fault.
2011 XC60 - sold
2000 V70XC - given to a friend, wish I still had it.

After almost a year, no trace of vibrations. Definitely, it´s well worth checking.
