vibration

I have a 97 F250 with independent front suspension and when I go over 65 it has a very annoying vibration. I have pretty new tires and have had them balanced again and rotated and the vibe is still there. Could it be the shocks? How do I know if the shocks need replaced. The vibratiion is definatly in the font.

Not sure, but:

Shock test: stand on the corner of the bumper and bouce it down and jump off. It should sink, bounce up and stop. If it oscillates. they are bad.

Have you had alignment/suspension bushings inspected?
