64 Corvette
I have a 64 Corvette that had a vibration in the left rear after 55 mph. I installed new Diamond Back tires, computer balance and new Garbrlal Ultra Shocks with no change.
All U Joints seam solid and nothing is loose that i can find.
Any Ideas would be appreciated

Did the car have the vibration when you bought it, or it WAS ok and then started having the problem? If it used to be OK, did you change anything or have anything else going on about the time you first noticed it? Did it come on gradually, and get more intense over time, or nothing one day and it's there the next?

Rather than just spinning the tire/wheel, road force balancers have a roller which exerts pressure on the tire as it is tested, to simulate the weight of the car in actual conditions. Not all shops have them but it's generally accepted that's a more accurate measurement than the old way.
