Default slight vibration at 70 -80mph whats wrong?

Stock 95 civic suspension and when i go on some of the not so smooth highways I have a vibation in the ride, but not so much if at all on other highways, maybe something is worn at 150,000? Anyone know what the problem is?

I've got the same problem and I've got:
New tie rods 1000miles
ball joints have 29000miles on them
new struts/springs 1000miles
New balanced Ziex's 1000miles
Alignment 1000miles

I have a possible bad wheel bearing, but axles are fine, would that cause it?

Tire balance woudl be my guess. If it is in at a specific speed regardless of engine RPM or gear selection then its tires hands down. If it is ONLY under acceleration then its your axles......under braking, then its uneven rotors or possibley a bent slider.

wheel balancers only account for up to 80 mph or so i hear... also if ur tires are passenger tires which arent rated for speed... that could be an issue..
