I have a 2nd car, my 2002 Accent with 40 000 miles on it and it has started to vibrate and shake after I get over 70 miles an hour. Even the rear view mirror starts to shake, and the floor.

If I let off the throttle it starts to hum. When slowing down the hum increases a bit until I'm completely stoped.

I'm thinking wheel bearings but I'm not exactly sure, it seems to soon for that. What do you guys think?

In this order, I would check:

1. Correct tire pressure.

2. Tire and wheel balancing

3. Bearings - my drivers side went out around 40,000 miles

4. suspension

Good luck finding the problem. fing02.gif

Really sounds like your tires are worn...
