Having front end vibration / hum right when it hits 60 mph. It goes away when you go below 60 mph but it doesn't go away above 60 mph. Any ideas?

Wouldn't cost anything to rotate the tires and see if it goes away, or to the rear anyway. If it stays in the front, I'd guess bearings. If it moves to the back, try rebalancing.
 






It is under warranty right now. It goes in on Monday. I also think the rear wheel bearings are bad also.
 






It was tire cupping and the rear wheel bearings.
 






Holy cow, an update, somebody pinch me!

Thanks Zieg :)
 






The cupping of the tires could mean the lower ball joints are worn. The noise most likely are the wheel hubs. Just replaced my front left hub. Was sounding like I was running over a grated bridge. Sounds great now. Just waiting on the other side to fail (118500 miles 2006)
