Default Grinding/vibration 04 gs300

My gs300 has developed a grinding/vibration feel when driving. Mostly around 55-70mph. Hard to explain it, like a rotating grind feel. I can feel it in my feet on the highway. Maybe a wheel bearing but no roaring noise. Hope it's not in the tranny. Car has 90k miles on it. Any thoughts?

check your brake rotors and your calipers to see if they are sticking. Does it lose power quicky when you let go of the gas? Also could be the wheel bearings or the tires.

The brakes are fine. I'm thinking it a wheel bearing in the early stages of going bad. At least I hope so lol

I noticed a wobbly feeling between 40-60 mph and it turns out it was the front right wheel bearing. Jack up each corner, and try to move the wheels away from the axle. If there is movement, it's a bad/loose wheel bearing.

If all sides are tight, then it might be a bad tire/alignment.
