If you eliminate tire balance and worn out suspension parts, the next things to look at would be "anything that is roatating". That could be a bent or loose wheel, either front or back; it could be an unbalanced driveshaft; It could be worn out U-Joints in the drive shaft; it could be U-joints in the half axles; it could be worn out shock absorbers, or any suspension part that has become bent or broken due to accident, etc. Suggest you put your car on a hoist with the engine running and the transmission in 1st or 2nd gear, or an automatic in low range, then run the engine at several RPM speeds up to 30 miles per hour. A careful observer on the ground can probably hear or see what item is loose, or worn out, by walking around the car looking at each of the rotating items mentioned above.

Yes it can but usually it's the rear tires at high speed and front tires at low speed.Since I have installed thousands of tires and done vibration troubleshooting I have found that it's rarely the suspension.It can also be your u joints if it's a rear wheel drive.

the wheel bearings may be going out----the drive-shaft may be bent--------or the wheels may be bent ! or more-----the front alignment may need to be put in place----if you are excluding the tires does that mean that you just bought new ones and if so is it possible that you need to go back and have the tires re-balanced----suspension usually does not cause a vibration....___if you got new tires then one of them is not round or has too much wheel weight on it ......check all this

a car out of alignment or bad suspension parts but I would make sure the tires are balanced first and go from there, could even be a bad tire, such as a shifted belt.

Do you have a brake paulsation? If you do, I would be putting my money on the Drums or Rotors being warped, I work in a brake shop and see this a lot. When you brake do you feel your brake pedel shake, or your steering wheel shake, or the back end of your car shake? I've seen many cars have symptoms like that caused by warped rotors.

If you have a front wheel drive car, you may want to have your wheel alignment checked. While you're at it the tires may be not balanced.

you may have a bent rim, or maybe a really bad wheel bearing,,
or maybe a really worn tie rod or ball joint. a universal joint.or a wheel out of balance,,or a broken belt in your tire,,or scalloped tires etc

i work with cars...this relates to the tires but not many people know about this.. sometimes mud and other debris build up on the inside of the and it causes unbalence.. check it out it wont hurt anything...
