Ok , I started to get a little shudder at about 75mph. I'm pretty sure its not tire balance. Lately its been getting worse and now i'm getting a squeak sound over speed bumps and it feels like something is loose or worn.
I think my speed sensors are gone but I don't think the bearings are gone yet
Tie rod end?
Bushing?
I'd like to fix it myself.
Any ideas?

You have access to a floor jack ? Pick out the side you think is making the worse noise and jack it up . Try to catch the cradle. Set the parking brake pop it in into neutral (engine off of course). Place your ear near the center of the wheel and spin it forward as fast as you can if you hear it growling its the wheel bearing.Also grasp the tire at 9 and 3 o'clock positions and shake the tire side to side to check for play. Don't steer it the whole away across just push pull kinda thing here you might pick up a tie rod or ball joint problem. Also give it a shake at the 12 and 6 o'clock position see if the bearing got any slop. Could also be a control arm bushing follow the control arm to where it bolts to the cradle check for signs of metel to metal contact. You might even get in there with a pry bar and pry up and down in that area to see if the control arm is going up and down the into the metal inside the cradle. Also check the other side the same way.

thanks for the tips

Also, does it get worse when you apply the brakes at highway speeds? Your rotors may be warped....

I get a slight vibration between 72-78MPH. Common to the car. Some have found that road force balancing all wheels cured the problem. When I get rims, I'm going to have this done.

Well I found nothing wrong with my front end turned out to be a tire out of balance.
And I just put new rotors on a couple months ago braking is smooth even at highway speeds

There you go!
