*Vibration* but not from unbalanced tires
I'm not sure which part to replace. My car shakes at highway speeds (60+ mph) and I know where it's coming from (essentially) but don't know which part to fix. When the car is jacked up and my hands are placed at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock on the wheel, I can feel play. Is that:
A) Lower ball joint
B) Inner tie rod
C) Worn axle
Thanks!
BTW, lol this is not a quiz.

Not wheels bearings for me tho. Got those replaced 6 months ago. On uneven roads, the vibration either goes away completely or gets worse, somewhere has play in the front assembly.

I haven't replaced my wheel bearings but I have a very similar problem. When I asked my mechanic he checked everything out on the front end and said my rack had a little play in it....that it's a little loose but doesn't need to be fixed. I'm still concerned and irritated by it though and wonder if it is really the rack.
I have 136,000 miles.

I had a mechanic check it and he said there's play, and where he diagnosed he said it was the lower ball joint. I'd like to make sure this is the case tho.
Wheels bearings at first don't make much of a sound or vibration, but gets very bad when not fixed! Like you're running on warped wheels.

Does it shake worse at speeds between 25-35??
