Be sure you have your wheels road force balanced...

UPDATE: The first time I brought to the dealer they replaced the left and right front axles which seemed to improve the issue somewhat. However, I still experienced the vibration at times so I took it back. Now they tell me they took off the rims and tires from my car, but on rims/tires from another car and it was fine; so they will be sending out my wheels to be straightened out. This will probably be done by Wednesday so I'll let everyone know in about a week or so if it helped.

Thanks for update fmast. After both of my front axles were replaced, I have driven about 1,000 miles and still no more vibration above 60mph on my LS. I have a rumbling sound now which I believe is tire noise. I thought the factory Michelins would last more than 55K miles.
Keep us informed about your vibration and wheels, hope it works.

I got the car back on Aug 29th (dropped it off Aug 24th) and they determined that the rims were bent and causing shimmying at the higher speeds. They sent the rims out to be repaired and (knock on wood) so far, so good - no more vibrations at higher speeds. So this repair was in addition to them also replacing the front axles.

It been about a month now since they replaced the front axles and straightened out the rims and I would say the problem is about 90%-95% solved. There are times when I still feel a vibration; I would say I feel it most after first starting the car and getting out on the road in the morning. After I've been driving for awhile during the day I don't detect it as much.
