Vibration between 60 & 80 KM/Hr

I get a vibration between the above speeds. I'm sure it isn,t tires and front wheel bearings ans outer axles have been replaced but not the vibration. Car runs/rides smooth after this speed.
Any Ideas?

Welcome to the site!

Do you feel the vibration in the steering wheel or the seat?

It's possibly the tire balance.

Where does it feel the strongest? In the steering wheel? Does the whole car shake violently?

But not the driver's seat?

Did someone say that or did you ride in the passenger seat?

Are you absolutely sure it goes away above 80km?

Glad I am not the only one. Could be because it is AWD the shake transfers front to back but since this is my first AWD I am guessing.

If it's in the steering wheel it has to do with the front tires, suspension and/or steering.

Bring it to the SVX meet in Winnipeg next month and we could take a look
