Shaking!
I'm sure one of the brains on here has heard this question hundreds of times. And probably knows the answer right of the top of their head. At least I hope!
I have a 93 c5 that when I get around 60 mph it starts to adgressively shake. I've heard threw the grape vien that it is caused by bad tires, bent rim, bad bearing. Well I new my rim was bent just a little. So I put two stock rims and two used but just mounted and balanced rims on the rear. (the front two are new) And I've had it up in the air and can't find any bad bushing or anything lose. So if anyone can help me to what I'm missing or better yet what it is and what causes it!

That 1993 C5 Corvette is a mighty rare item. I would not be driving one if I could get one.
The shaking can be caused by the front end out of alignment, possibly by worn shocks, tire out of balance or out of round, bent rim, bad front suspension components, etc. Good luck in tracking it down.

-Get your tires re-balanced, or even better road force balanced.
-If it is an issue with your suspension then it would show in the wear on your tires.
-Can also be the "used" tires you put on. Maybe a belt has shifted.
-Small chance, but maybe a wheel bearing is on its way out.
