Default Rhythmic Vibration

My car starts to vibrate at 50mph. At slower speeds I can't feel anything. It's a rhythmic type of vibration. The tires have been replaced, balanced and load checked, all was fine there. All of the bearings(wheel)have been replaced. It's hard to tell if it's coming from the front or rear. Could it be a coupler or a u-joint that has gone bad? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. By the way it's an automatic. I've had this problem for awhile and it's driving me crazy.

Can you determine if you feel it in the wheel or through the seat? (wheel = front, seat = rear)

Was it doing it before the tires were replaced?

Tough call, sounds like you've eliminated the obvious causes. Anyone else
