Getting fustrated!!
Alright, ive been trying to chase down a vibration hopefully i can describe it right. Its like i'm driving on a road that has been patched up and has minor pot holes in it, its not very rough but its enough to feel it. i feel it more when im going down a smooth road then a rough one. It started happening after i took the car through quite a lot of curves heading to the coast, (i was doing lots of breaking/speeding up, the ROTOR's are not warped ive checked them)
I did take the driveshaft off the car and took a look at the u-joints, neither of them looked/felt as if they were bad. the front yoke felt a little loose, but i attruibed that to it being a 23 year old car. Took the car to get the tires reballanced, but that wasnt it.
The tranny mount was broke, i fixed that, but the vibration is still there, i can feel it through out all speeds, low speeds being the worst, high speeds i can barely feel it, I can also feel it when i'm breaking (which led me to check the rotors, which were still good)
Anybody have any ideas on what else i should check?

I'd check the front wheel bearings or better yet, just replace them! Soopa cheap and easy.
I actually fried a set on my driver's side one night on the expressway from an extended time at 110. Slowed down, then all of a sudden, I had a vibration/grinding noise coming from the front wheel. They were in such bad shape, it took a set of pullers to get the rotor off.
