Default wobble through car

Hey Guys,
Well, ever since we have had the H3 there has been a wobble through the car. What I mean by that is it is not felt through the steering wheel but kind of under your feet.
I put it down to maybe a bad tire at the back.
Last week we had a new set of tires put on and had it aligned etc but wobble still there. It starts around 40 mph and goes when you get to about 60mph.
Any ideas ??

Balance of tires? Mud in tires/other components?

Had tires balanced previously but had them balanced again when bought new tires last week so can rule that out i guess. No mud in tires !
Thanks though.

still sounds like bad belt

or sounds like it is still a bad belt, on a new tire??

the only timeS i had speed sensitive wobble was tires , but it could simply be a bent wheel

I thought about it being a wheel but wouldn't you have thought they would have said something about it when they balanced it.
Mind you, this is TN !!

Could be your rear drive shaft? Check and see if any of the weights have been knocked/fell off?

Default driveshaft,,humm,,vibration

i dont think you will get slow wobble ftom a small shaft spinning at apx 2000rpm,,thats apx 30 rp second, like a hummmm

the 2-3 in diameter shaft would not wiggle the whole car,it will vibrate
