No matter what speed? Does it shake while you're stopped?

no only , while driving it, i thought maybe it was a wheel bearing, but i havent checked it yet, it does seem like if your stopped, and when you rev it up in park, when it starts to come back down you can feel it a little, its like when your driving, it makes a noise every revaloution, of the wheel turning, if im saying it right, my 1st vette, has 82000 miles on it, ive had wheel bearings go out before, but this sounds diffrent, its just loud enough and stuff to be annoying, dean?

I would check your tires, if you can feel the vibration more in the steering wheel than the rest of the car then its probably in the front. Run your hand over the tires and see if you feel any bumps or bubbled spots on them. If there are you should replace your tires and probably your shocks as well.
