Hey guys, same problem here. "97 SE 5-spd. Vibration from 65mph on up. Used to ride like it was on glass a couple years back, even to an indicated 120mph once. I've replaced the axles, the brake rotors, had alignments and balancing three times. Well, finally had four new Yokohamas put on w/ balance. It did dramatically reduce the vibration, not completely gone, just perceptible from 70 to 80 but I can live with it. I'm really starting to think I have a slightly bent rim that you can't readily see with a visual inspection, with the tire on. These are alloy rims after all (stock ones) and I'm sure between members of my family they've hit a curb once or twice and may have slightly deformed one...or two. There's a couple shops in a nearby town that specialize in straightening alloy rims...think I'll take it there and give it a try.
