Default SHAKE/VIBRATION????

I just got this 2002 GT and when i get up around 70MPH there is this slight vibration that i can feel thoughtout the car? i dont notice it at slow speeds though. I took it to a ford dealer and they told me that they looked at everything in the front end and that everything was tight and nothing seemed out of place. Do you guys have any suggestions? im guessing maybe tires need balanced?

sounds to me like the wheels need to be balanced

also, one thing i forgot to mention is that when im just cruising about 30-40mph if i let off the wheel sometimes it will pull to the right. but i think all that is the tires catching grooves in the road. or would balancing have an effect on that?

there are three cuases of somthing like that! #1 you have a warped or unblanced wheel #2 you have sometiype of aliment issues #3 a bad motor mount but you will only notice the motor mount if the car shakes while accelerating
