I was told when I had the tires replaced that the right front wheel bearing had a little play but was told it didn't need to be replaced yet. The shaking starts at about 65 mph but goes away for the most part at around 75 mph. Any help would be great.
The symptoms you state are quite possible with a tire that has internal damage that is unseen by the eye, as noted by Padgett.
I had something similar and it went away when new tires where installed. But you have had the tires balanced.
A little play in the bearing could be taken up with a minor adjustment of the nut.
Worn steering joints could lead to this, how many miles on the car?
