Default Shudder in Accord

I recently bought a 1995 Honda Accord, but it has a shudder/vibration in the wheels that gets worse the faster you drive, especially at freeway speeds. I tried balancing the tires, and while that helped some, that didn't cure the problem. What else could it be? Tire problems, bearings (I don't hear any noises while turning, though), axles, alignment? The shudder feels side-to-side, not up and down.

BTW, records show the axles were replaced in 2005, and the upper control arms replaced earlier this year. Plus, I do note a slight pull to the right.

Sound like an alignment problem. Also, how many miles are on the tires? Even though the tires were balanced, hitting a pothole or curb could throw out the balancing again.

The tires were replaced in 2007 and have about 28,300 miles on them. Goodyear Viva 2 tires.

Your tires could be cupped and cause vibration. I mean no disrespect but goodyear tires are junk. Vivas are very low end tires they come from walmart. My friend had them on his crv and they were very noisy and vibrated. He changed them to bridgestone and it all went away

So it _could_ be just the tires themselves? That's a thought. Thanks.
