On one hand I hope it is the shocks and on the other I hope it isn't.
If the shocks are the culprit into the trash they go. If they are not the culprit, I am giving them to Andy for his race car.

I don't have any input for you on bearings for the Vette I had good luck with Timken on the Saturn. It's a long shot but I wonder if you have a slightly sticking caliper (my guess is you replaced them already)? All mine appear to be sticking. Mine were way stuck (61k) fronts warmed up to 600 degrees after short drive.

I have a vibration in the front of my '96. (regardless of tires and/or wheels the vibration stays). Even though it now only has 19.5K miles, it sat for most of the 10 yrs prior to me purchasing it in 2016. I have already done the rears with SKF bearings.
Has any one had recent experience (good or bad) with either Moog or Timken bearings ? I am trying to make a decision as to which ones to buy.
Also, could a dead spot in the shocks be causing this? I have not had experience with a car setting for so much so long. I already have new Bilsteins that I am going to put on.
Thanks

That said I have had good experience with moog, although that was not on a Corvette.
