shaking or vibration

I am on the way back from a 1000 mile round trip in the Ex and got tired of driving so let my wife drive. I crawled in the backseat second seat hoping I would get some sleep and what a vibration. It does not happen all the time just certain times around 75 mph. What could be causing the problem??

is it an oscillating type thing that comes and goes on a cycle ?
or is it not cyclic - just every once and a while ?

does it change with vehicle speed or more with engine rpm ?

easier to find something that happens all the time, isn't it


oh, I know what will make it go away - make her ride back there

Just had them done 2 weeks ago, they were pretty shot. I have not had a chance to get the front end aligned because I am in search of tires. That maybe the problem

I had a bad vibration around 55 mph and checked my driveshaft. Turns out the u-joints were toast. Replaced them and the vibration went away. Hope that's all you need to do because it's easy and not expensive to do yourself.
