Feels more like front end, more steering wheel than seat. I have balance tires, had a specialty high performance shop do it again. Since then, due to wear or upgrades, I've replaced wheels, tires, struts, mounts, springs (swift) It starts slowly at about 65 and gets worse the faster I go, all the way past 100. It'll shake the steering wheel out of you hand around 100. Tires and wheels have been replaced and checked for roundness (hunter road force) and balanced down to 6 grams. I had a specialty tire shop do a high performance balance as discount can't seem to get closer than 1 oz.

If the problem is more prominet during slight acceleration and lessens out when decelerating, have the CV inner joints and CV shaft checked.

Acceleration and decel have no effect. Only speed. My Avalon did have that problem though. I dumped it before replacing them.
Thankyou though, any more ideas?

What about the wheel bearings and steering linkages?
