Kiawah, thanks. This does help. I am not sold on the car sitting on the same spot overnight only because this subtle shaking happens when I am doing errands all day long or even after 5 hour drives. Always 50-60mph. So annoying. I can feel it in the steering, so it must be front end related? I will try the balancing, but think that it is the wheels. Thank for the input though this helps very much.
Just talked to my mechanic about the same thing. 50-60 MPH vibration. He noticed that the bearings are slightly loose in the left front wheel. He showed me how the wheel moves slightly back an forth. I am having the bearings repacked (or replaced) depending on what is necessary. I will let you know the results if you are interested. The mechanic thinks that this is my problem. I feel the vibrations through the steering wheel at 50-60 mph.
Will do. I'll post a reply when I get the car back this Thursday. According to what I have read, the front wheels for the 140s really take the brunt on everything. Brakes, shocks etc. due to weight and steering. Mine has 177K so it might be about time that the bearings needed some help.

Great idea! Like those extending brace arms that come out of the side of mobile cranes to keep them steady and in some cases lift the wheels off the ground? Give those German engineers time and a reason and they will build it.
The ULTIMATE parking break.
Plus no need for LoJack, just follow the scrape marks in the pavement.
