Shaking in front end at highway speeds

[jrn43]

I have a 1999 Malibu, recently I have had the front tires balanced twice the alingment checked and I still get a wicked vibration from 65 to 75. I can't figure out what it is without dumpng alot of money into it to play hit or miss. I was thinking maybe wheel bearing, front strut or bushing. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

how's the wear on your tires? uneven wear could possibly cause vibration

Tire wear seems fine. I don't see any abnormal wear. I rotated the tires last night thinking I might have something like that, but shake is still there. Thanks for the thought!

make sure the lug nuts are tight. Might see if the tires are out of balance.

how many miles on your tires and have you been rotating all along?some times a tire can have lots of rubber with 20,000 or 25,000 miles and be not any good because of lack of rotation.

When you rotated the tires did the vibration move with the rotation ie: front to rear? Sounds like your belts may have shifted. Other then that check for free play in the front end.
