[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 15117250, member: 2522"] I have seen a shake occur around 60mph from either wheel balance or warped rotors. Some free things to try is first check runout on front rotors. Second, use a torque wrench to put your wheels back on. Start @ 40lbs in a star pattern, then 70lbs. then 100 to 110 lbs. If the problem is still there, do like suggested above and have another shop rebalance the tires (Remove and torque wheels back on when you get home, air wrenches are not as consistent, especially since they go to full torque on each lug all at once). For the most consistent torque, I put a light smear of oil on each stud. A great mechanic I know never torques a dry bolt. Finally, if still not resolved, check the wheel bearings. A 60mph shake usually points to a balance or runout problem in my experience. I would think that a control arm or ball joint would wobble throughout a wider mph range. [/QUOTE]
