when was your last aligment? how old is the tire? How is the condition of tire? Air pressure? wheel bearing? condition of your bushings? condition of front end components? Your shocks and strut? did you torque your wheel?
There are many many things that can cause those 55 to 65 mph shake. and its like one of hardest to remidy as well.
I'd start cheapest thing first tho. Your tire is balanced. thats cool. But if your tire is worn, like there is cupping and such? that'll cause shake, even tho it balance perfectly.
driveshaft balancing is cheap to do(i got mine balanced for $20).
My geo vibrate around there as well too. Got aligment, new tire and new rims, new rear shock didn't fix the probrem. Turned out that one of my wheel stud had hair line crack in it. Installed new 50 cents stud, shake no more

Bushing condition - if you see crack or deformation, its done. You should replace them Bushing is what hold many things in place. if bushing is bad or dried out, cracked and deformed, its easy to imagine things move around on speed.
Front end components meaning things like steering linkage, rack and pinion, A-arm, spindle and such.
As far as bearing goes, jack the car up and spin the wheels. if it makes noise, chances are they are shot. Or sometimes you can wiggle wheel. which means bearing is done for.
Shocks thats has 75000miles... i would say it won't hert to change them... i think most are good for about 45000~50000miles(depending on how you drive)
Whatever it is, let us know when you fix the problem, because my 97 did it, my 01 does it, and its annoying, but I know I need a good alignment, plus my front tires need replacing from bad camber, so that may be my problem, but these will all get fixed here in the next month or so.
Good luck trying to find it, I know it can be annoying.
