turns out it was a beat up rotor on my front passenger side brakes causing my never ending 60-75mph vibration, i used too hard of pads for the rotors i had and they got eaten up in a few months so i went with a softer compound pad and we shall see how it goes. if it happens again i will get different brand rotors and pads.

i suspect that i am starting to have the same issue,

one side of the brake pad is also more worn out then the other side

hotcracker, you may have a sticky caliper and/or caliper slides.

UPDATE: i also have 2 bent rims, replacements are on the way (oddly the bent rims were not the main cause of the vibration) the vibration is very minute but still there now one is very wobbly the other just had a small bend.
