Default got a nasty vibration in the car...

i rebalanced the tires it doesn't seem like that. i have had a few people look at it and they think it's a warped flywheel or maybe the intermediate shaft/axles. it seems to do under load between 50-60 mph. letting off the gas or depressing the clutch it goes away. any ideas.

It could be a bent rim. I know usually they don't balance, but I've seen them balance before and still affect the ride which makes sense because it is bent after all

my rims should be fine since i'm runnning stock 15s, but my tires need replacing and i do have high spots on my front tires. i haven't got around to switching them out to see if thats the problem. we put the car on the lift and the vibration was still their without the wheels touching the ground. the axles themselves are remans, but are only a year. that's still a possibility although they make no noise in hard left\right turns. i guess a bearing inside could be messed.

some more info..the vibration shakes the whole cars front end, not the steering wheel. if i had to guess which side it feels like it's coming from, the passenger side. it also makes the speedo shake under hard acceleration in 3rd at those speeds.

Balancer shafts off by a few teeth??

Also that could be your tie rod ends. If they are loose they would cause some shaking...

That will work if you don't have both front tires off the ground. if you pull the wheel off you should be able to grab them and see if they have any excess movement.
