it may just be me but if you had a front end only alignment that the problem can still be the alighnment of all four wheels.

Yeah that's why we need to know if it was a 4 wheel alignment or just a 2 wheel.

4 wheel alighnment. Front wheel bearings feel good no play. Tires plus said they are still solid as well
Tie rod ends are new. what about bushings? Are there any bushings that once worn could cause this problem
Rims are straight. tire wear is good and even

The Tires have all the weights on them and no bulges in the side wall or anywhere else.
I had heard bushings, sway bar and control arm bushings.
Does this sound like it may be a cause?

just so you guys know, a warped rotor CAN cause the car to shake at cruising speeds(above 60). if it was me, i would replace the rotors with higher quality rotors(check out Powerslot). not only as a way to *maybe* cure the shaking, but higher quality rotors won't warp as easily as the autozone ones.

you said that the tires are worn evenly. just how worn are the tires? are they fairly new, ok to drive on, or on their last leg?

Well so far I think we've covered all the bases available. The car hasn't been in any previous accidents has it? I had a Sundance that I hit a deer then a ditch with that the problems didn't become evident until 2 months down the line when the K frame snapped and almost sent me off the side of an overpass onto the freeway below.

No accidents. Tires have approx. 8,000 perelli the car is a summer car so it never sees the snow or cold.
I just dont want to buy $$$$ worth of rotors and still end up with a shake the rotors are not far out ground within .002
That should not cause the problems I am seeing. There is plenty of meat left onthe tires at least one more season.

Well you've definately got me baffled. I can't think of anyhing else that would cause that kind of problem. Do the pads have even wear? And are they still attached well to the backing plates?
