Vibration doesnt stop!

Vibration doesnt stop!
Let me give this a try for the last time. Ive had a vibrating issue on my max for quite some time now. Ive searched, read and am not shure what the problem could be. When im going 65mph the car is perfect, Im getting to 70 the steering wheel starts to shake, 75 the car is anoying, 80 it goes away. I have replaced the tires, New toyo proxes 4, new rotors, fresh balance, alignmet is not the issue. I took it to a shop to get an alignment and the guy told me that there was no need to, that the alignemt was fine. Im getting ready to chance my clutch and other things on the car and while im at it, I would really appreciate if anyone of you could tell me what is causing this.
Thanks for your help

it could be one of the ball bearings on the joints?, I've always had some little vibrations in mine through my steering wheel that changes with speed. One time my steering wheel actually the lever to move it up and down was a little loose and the steering wheel vibrated for some reason, check to make sure that's tight.

check anything rotational... i have the same problem, i keep replacing everything that is bad and it gets a lil better but isnt completely gone... well start from simple to hardest... tire balance, alignment, warped rotors, loose ball joints or tie rods (inner or tie rod ends), bent axle/ bad CV joint, wheel bearings... there are a lot of moving/ rotation parts and any one could cause a vibration... hope i helped a lil

+1 on post #5, go to the best tire shop you know of, im lucky i have one here in my area. check your tires, then have them balanced and an alignment.
let them test drive. if its still there then keep moving forward until you find the whats causing it.
