The last couple of days, I've folded AQo and AQs 5 times to a re-raise. All 5 times it has been in the mid stage of the SnG, around the 100/200 level...I raise 3xBB, then get a re-raise behind me. The re-raise, if called would have commited 40-55% of my stack each time. Maybe I'm to weak/tight, but of the 5 times I've folded it, I've went on to cash 4 of them. Do you guys regularly fold AQ to a re-raise?

I should clarify a little. I raise 3xBB, and someone else pops it up to 8-10xBB. Once the chipleader pushed as well.

I usually establish a solid table image as well. Maybe that's why I'm folding them. Or maybe it's because I suck.

I know it is not good to be results oriented when discussing this kind of play, but you did go on to cash almost every time.
If the raiser has AK and an Ace hits, you are probably going broke and out of the money. If the raiser has shown down decent hands when raising preflop, it is an easy laydown.

Also, even if he doesn't have AK, there is a good chance I'm probably racing against JJ, 1010, 99, 88, and dominated by QQ, KK

I think your better off laying down AQ when facing a re-raise after you open-raised. If you decide you do have the best hand or it's coinflip, than pushing is the best option in a turbo.
