To start, you have timezone or computer time issues, you are a day ahead
of yourself...
Second 'do the front end' is total bull**** which could run into the
Thousands and thousands of dollars.
A slight 'bounce' at 60 when the tires go from being compressed to
expanded from the centripetal force is usually a wheel balance issue or
even a bad shock issue. If it is a tire issue, the 'bounce' will change
if you rotate the tires from front to back. That is usually the first
thing to do.
Your description could mean a lot of things.
U-joints will start a vibration at those speeds when going bad also.
Where do you feel it? In the seat of your pants or in your hands?
