Default Vibration at high speed

I have a 97 eclipse and i know its starting to get old, and I take good care of her. But when i get to about 90 mph on the highway the car has shakes and vibrations. What can I do to remedy this? would new springs help or rims or motor mounts? thnx in advance.

i would check the balance on the rims. also check your tie rods. i lifted my car up and i could shake my wheels they wre old. when i was on the highway it would shake too.

start simple and make sure your tires are balanced and that you dont have bent rims.

Just wanted to make sure there wasnt anything that didnt cost money to check first before I pay to get the tires balanced.

Go to NTB or Tire Kingdom, they will balance for free. Get them rotated and balanced. It will get rid of vibration.
