Default Vibrating Car?

So between 50mph and 75 mph my car vibrates...you could feel it and hear it...i took it to the shop and they said it was the brakes...so my dad fixed the brakes and its still vibrating. My co-worker said its the alignment and wheel balance...HELP!?

If traveling at speed and you are not applying the brakes, it could be a wheel out of balance, bent rim, or bad tire.

A vibration or shaking that is felt through the steering wheel only when you apply the brakes, usually is a brake problem, such as warped rotors.

There can be other reasons, but usually the problem can be isolated depending on when and how the vibration occurs.

Well it still could be "warped" rotor as he has a 94 accord with the hub over rotor design. Take it to a chain store and have them check something in your suspension make it up, they will do it for free. Get a couple shops opinions and figure it out.
