Did you balance the front wheels? is it worse when on the gas or make any difference at all? If so could be your axle boots. uneven tire wear?

Is it vibrating mainly under acceleration? Or is it smooth until 70mph?

If the latter...are the tires new? Have you recently spun the car?

If it is only vibrating under acceleration, then your inner CV buckets may need to be swapped. Have you recently lowered the car?

Do you feel it in the steering wheel at all? I thought it was the rear of my car as well but wound up just being the front wheels needing to be balanced. So above 70 mph even off the gas you have the same vibrations? If thats the case then maybe a bend in a wheel, tire pressure, uneven tire wear or wheels needing to be balanced would be the most likely culprits.

You might have something bent or need to have an alignement done in the front. A lot of times it is something to do with your front tires.

not sure but do you have OEM rims? If you have aftermarket rims and no hubcentric rings you will feel the vibe for sure!
