My Corolla recently started vibrating, with the most severe vibrations occurring above 60 MPH. Although there is some shake in the steering wheel, the whole car seems to vibrate. It seems worse when the engine is under load, and it might be worse when curving to the right. I had it checked at a shop, and they rebalanced the tires. I can't afford a lot of trial and error. Any recommendations of things to check next? Thank you!

I would next check the ehwwl bearings (the left side in particular). If it gets worse when you turn right, that is when more weight is on the left side of the vehicle. Also, make sure CV joints are in good condition. Finally, when they rebalanced the tires, did they check for a bent rim?
