Recently changed all four rotors ,brakes, left rear hub/bearing, left front sway bar link, and transmission fluid. Now my car has a vibration after 60mph which was not there prior to the work. I then changed all the rotors and hubs again. I also had the tires road forced balanced twice replaced both front axles and new rear struts trying to correct the problem. I cannot figure out for the life of me what the hell is going on. I also swapped out the wheels with my friends maxima to validate if a rim was bent and still the same old vibration. The car runs super smooth until 60mph then the vibration appears and gets less noticable at around 80mph. The vibration cannot be felt in the wheel but more in the seat/entire car. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Vince

i would check the front end; control arms, tie rods, rack and pinion supports to worn items
If the car is not holding a suspension front end alignment there could be a problem with those items

I have 1998 maxa GXE - I have the same problem.
50mph-80mph between these speeds the car wobbles and shakes.

-I replaced axles 2 years ago.
- I went to a shop and had my tires balanced.
- braking is smooth rotors pads have been done 1 year ago.
-
Alignment of both front tires on the inside edges are both worn out. Badly.
Mechanic when he had it - said alignment was straight?

I just bought 4 tires and taking it back to get all 4 tires mounted and balanced and alignment,

Any thoughts anyone?

one way would be to have someone follow you and see if any tires etc are vicbrating.

first check for loose bolts/nuts

Maybe the car was wrecked before you got it-a bent unibody
Look for your cars body specs which detail the distance between body parts
You can use a tape measure to see where the problems might be
After my wreck the rear beam was so bent it shook the rear strut until the oil came out of it
So i got the mechanic to put a new rear beam on it and it was ok ($500)
