vibrating at 60+ esec. 80+mph

Pretty annoying problem. 05 sedan 66k miles, automatic. option B package or w.e. I get vibrating in the steering wheel deff. feels like its in the front of the car because my passengers say they cant feel it really. Dealership said the wheels are balanced but they could just be doing a crappy job. I searched the forums for a while and came up with the possibilities.

inner outter tierod
rear propellar shaft ? what everthat may be.
balancing
warped rotors
steering rack

Any suggestions ? possiby any way i could check some of these things ? I appreciate it guys an girls.

What tires do you have? That can be a big part of it. Have you looked to see yourself if the tires are balenced correctly? Because some places say the balenced them but blow it off(I am not saying every shop does it but some do). There is a little tool to check it with.

Also Are you technically inclined? Reason I ask is because your tires could be misweighed(I don't know the word/phrase sorry). Take a scale to each of the four wheels and lower the car on the scales. I forget the formula of what each tire side/front and rear should be. To correctly do this it takes about 4 hours. This will help a great amount as it did to some of my previous cars. Man, I suck at explaining. Hope I helped.

Could even be a bent wheel. You can balance the tire all you want and if the wheel has a slight bend it will vibrate.

Use a Hunter 9700 radial force balancer to find tire/wheel problems.

Rotor vibrations CHANGE as you apply brakes epeatedly and heat them up.

Never thought of that. I guess check the simple things first.
