I've got some pretty wicked vibrations coming from my passenger side I'm pretty sure it's up front. It vibrates a lot while accelerating to about 45 and it feels like a helicopter at 80. I got my tires balanced and still no luck. I was told to replace my sway bar links so I'm getting those in a couple days. Could there be something else making these vibrations? Thanks for any help

Wheel bearing?
 






Since your shop didn't mention anything about uneven tire wear, I would lean towards the wheel bearing, too. Does turning the steering wheel slightly right or left when driving affect the vibration?
 






I had a similar problem that I threw parts at (including bearings). Had the tires rotated and the sound moved to the rear. Tire didn't show uneven wear, but apparently it was. A balance didn't help either. Replaced the tire and the noise went away.
 






I had the bearing replaced around June so I hope that's not it. I just got a new tire put on the front left. It was vibrating before that and still does it after I've driven about 500 miles on the new tire and still no change
 






Have you jacked it up and wiggled things around?

I just had to replace the bushings on my pass. side upper control arm, that will cause a "vibration."
 






I have found out when I accelerate very carefully from 35 to 45 I get no vibrations at all but if I do it regularly then it's pretty bad
