Vibration starts at around 55mph then goes away at around 65mph? could this be a bent drive shaft?
I did the STFA trick but nothing like this comes up but alot of vibe at lowers speed problems? I Plann on getting a Control Arm kit and inner Tie Rod ends to replace the OME ones.(not sure if former owner ever got the recall done)
Have heard from firestone after a shredded tire that wrapped it self ever so nicely around the drive shaft that it was bend but i have a feeling they where just tryn to scare my wife into spending more $$$. But I cant get this black cloud off my mind of haven a bent drive shaft just sounds like some very bad problems and lots of money. looking at about 700$ already for the Control arm and inner ties kit
Thanks alot for any info or help

Start with re-balancing the wheels and see if that helps.
It could also be flat spotted tires if the car has been sitting for an extended period of time.

You could have thrown a weight, or . . .
You got the new guy who has no clue how to use the balance machine. It's not a simple as it may seem. I watched a guy teach a newbie once. There are some tricks to doing it right.
Or, as others have said, you bent a rim.
