Default My car is vibrating...

Im trying to figure out whats the deal here. My car is vibrating when I am driving, especially in the higher speeds 100-170 kms. sometimes it shakes lightly and sometimes a bit more, but definatly not through the steering wheel. Does anyone have an idea as to what it could possibly be?

There are no mods on the car with the exception of a drop in K&N air filter at this point. The car has been doing it for about a month right now. It feels just like unbalanced wheels, but again, there is absolutly no shake through the steering wheel. And its not a slight vibration where I am paranoid. My gf had asked what was that vibration (before I had even mentioned it to her). I will have the tires do another balancing as I use taped weights and they sometimes do come off (so ive experienced). Hopefully that is the issue.

thats what it sounds like but like someone else posted where does the vibe feel like its coming from. also check your wheels and make sure they are tight. a loose wheel can cause a vibe

I will retighten the lugs tonight but i cant detect yet where its comming from, it almost feels like the centre of the car ?!?...

also on a nother note, i hear a squeaking in the rear right (i think) when going over minor bumps in the road when the car is moving slowly (to hear at least.. and happened when cold). I think its unrelated but started hearing it today. Any idea as to what that is?
