Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed a vibration coming from the front end of my car. At first it wasn't really noticeable but now the wheel has started to shake and you can hear a glass rattle against the sides of the cup holder. It's fine from 0-50 but after that the vibration gets progressively worse the faster I accelerate. I had this problem once previously about a year or so ago and had the front drive axles replaced which fixed the problem. Is it possible that they were damaged sometime between the repair and now or is there another problem which may be causing this?

Could easily be wheel balance. That's where I'd start. Wheel balance problems will generally be noticable above 40mph, and get worse with increased speed. You aren't getting a shimmey during brake application, right?

Having the tires rotated and balanced seems to have fixed the problem but I won't be able to tell for sure until I take them on the highway tomorrow. Thanks for the help and I'll be sure to let you know if it fixed my problem.
