^^^^ I had all of my tires balanced. Its still shaking. If they were bent i would of had problems with them before. also ive never hit any potholes since i had the car. Could it be the ball joints?

I am getting a vibration as well on my 94 and I found out that the rubber in center bearing was worn out. So I bought one from Toyota and put it in and it was better but I still get a slight vibration still but only at 120kph/60mph. I have changed the tranny mount and the motor mount are good as the motor does not shift when you torque on it. I also put new rubber on all 4 rims and balanced and aligned the car. So I am thinking it might be something still along the drive shaft which I will have to take a look at it again. Will post any findings and I hope that you guys will do the same.

if your running aftermarket wheels then I STRONGLY recommend hub centric rings.....tons of sizes on ebay for like $10 shipped. I SWEAR by these things! Everyone with aftermarket rims......do yourself a big favor and buy a set!!! Best $10 you ever spent on your car.

Y'all know what, after doing the road force wheel balance(or something) I finally got rid of that scary vibration at 60mph, so I don't feel any kind of shaking from my steering wheel anymore although another vibration is coming from(I believe) my driveshaft, where I can feel it from my seat, and another vibration from(I believe) my motor mounts(because it comes and it goes as I step on the gas) depending on the rpm... Must've given out due to the beating it took from the vibration caused by the rims and tires before the road force wheel balance and prior to putting hub centric rings.

New rack and pinion
New sub frame (front)
New Hub centric rings
2 mechanics checked my bushings and bearings in the front but they both said the car was fine and couldnt figure it out.
i have something to add though. does anyones car shift ****(automatic) inside the car move when u take off and stop... mine seems like it moves back and forth like if there is no mount on the tranny at all. would this cause the steering wheel to shake at the speed mentioned??

Seems like most of us have the same issue. From 60 to just under 70mph, we all get serious shaking. My suspension is tight with no flexing in the ball joints. My wheels are aftermarket but I have correct fitting hub centric rings. Not to mention, it gives me the same vibrations during the winter time when I install the stockers.
Has anyone ever figured out the culprit? I will seriously email you a picture of several hot naked chicks if you chime in.

It's confirmed guys, well, it all started with my wheels and tires being out of balance, and running aftermarket wheels with no hub centric rings, but the big vibration it made before I was able to get it fixed shot the LCA bushings and motor mounts. So yeah, I'm gonna be doing that soon anyways, but not this soon, so I guess I have no choice now. And it's sounding like my problem is totally the same as the OP's, because now the vibration also comes and goes. From what I noticed it starts vibrating when I come to a wavy road and after passing it I need to slow down for the vibration to stop. And also high RPM contributes to the story so I use the O/D now.
