Re: vibration at high speed
i went over to the shop but of course it wouldn't make the noise when i had my boy ride with me.
all my susp/steering stuff looks good, no visible damage.
the next time it happens i'm gonna call someone in the area i know to ride with me

Re: vibration at high speed
check your axles. we have had a few cars in the shop recently that were having the same problem, they would vibrate above a certain speed, but not every time. the bearings in the axles were getting worn unevenly so sometimes it would be really loose and vibrate, but sometimes they would be tight

i've had axles freeze and snap, a wheel hub fall off, wheel studs snap and drove home on two studs, tie rod bolts shear off and drove home on that, etc
once the car runs again i'll hopefully find out what was wrong if anything

If it has not come back then I would not worry about it.
Was it a harmonic deal, or just a constant shake.

but i know what a bad bearing and axle feel likeit was a constant shake that was completely speed dependent, below 55MPH or so and it was completely gone

Do you live in a cold climate, driven through mud lately, flatted the tires, ect.
