Vibration on Steering wheel, seat, flooring

Hi Folks,

I own a 2004 X5 4.4i, I've had my tires balanced few times, air in tires are at recommended psi. I'm not sure what to do, I've vibration in my steering wheel, feel some in my seat, and I feel some vibration on the flooring. I only feel this vibration on highway after 60mph, I don't feel any issues when I'm braking.

Could it be the trust arm bushings or/and ball joints??

Thanks for any suggestions,
Soner

Possibly bent rims? Did the balancer check to see if the wheels spin true without any left/right, up/down issues?

Subscribing. I have exactly the same car and exactly the same problem. I'm thinking I need new front axles but am interested to see what is suggested.

Are your front CV boots broken?

Thanks, for the suggestion. Yes I I did take the vehicle to specialist to check wheels and all the tires and wheels are true and balanced. Must need some front end work done. No the cv boot is not ripped.
Cheers,
