Default Vibration at speed

Hey,

So I'm getting this mild vibration once I get up to about 65-70 mph. I know it can be bad tires/out of balance.
I know how to build solid axles but have every little experience with independent suspension. What other parts could cause this just so I can run through and test everything and than assemble some parts.

Thanks!

what kind of vibration is it, put your hand on the shifter and see if its more intense on the shifter because you could have a bad trans mount too. That was my issue back when i bought my car

No extra vibration at the shifter. I really only feel it on the steering wheel.

are the tires old? do they maybe have some flat spots or weird wear spots? if it's mild vibration at the steering wheel only it's usually just wheels and tires because nothing else can shake there.

Is it more like a wobble that
could be lower control arm bushings?

Sorry, I got this solved months ago and forgot to post an answer. Tires were out of balance, new set and new wheels rides like a charm. Now if only I could figure out this damned check engine light...
