I have had each tire balanced and an alignment to rid the car of a vibration. The vibration still persists. Do you have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks!!!!

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation.

If the vibration is in the body only and not felt in the steering it will be a rear wheel problem, if the vibration is felt in the steering it will be in the front drive line, if only felt when braking it will be a faulty brake rotor, also to a lesser degree loose drive shafts, faulty wheel bearings, worn steering & suspension components can also cause a vibration, but often it is a wheel problem, maybe get them checked by a second work shop just in case the first shop had a problem with there equipment.
