<div>Hi Sloane, <br>
I sympathize with you. I've been going through the exact same
thing since I rebuilt my TR6 10 years ago. When it first started
happening, right around 50mph, I could feel it slightly in my
seat. All the universal joints, all the suspension parts and links
were new from my frame off. I rotated the brand new tires and
rebalanced which didn't seem to help. I bought replacement steel
wheels, dial indicated them and and remounted the tires on the
best I had with no change. I purchased some Minilites, no change
(but I wanted to get those anyway and the car looks cool). I
replaced the rear hubs with Goodpart hubs. A slight change in the
seat vibration but still there. After a couple more years, the
vibration got steadily worse and the front end started vibrating
quite noticeably at 50. I ended up removing the front wheel hubs
and truing them up in my lathe. No change. I've now replaced just
about everything and was at the end of the line until I mentioned
it to a friend of mine with a Six a few states away who I see
occasionally at TR events. He had the same problem and went
through similar trials and tribulations until he rebuilt the
steering rack. That cured it for his case. Thats now on my list
for the winter months as a last resort to try. <br>
<br>
I'm not saying this is your problem but it might be something to
consider. Have any other 6pack members experienced anything
similar with their steering racks?<br>

<div> If our tires are worn out I think I would get new ones
now. An alignment might not be a bad idea either. These are
thinks that should be done regardless and it will eliminate
them as the source of the vibration and may eliminate the
vibration altogether.</div>
