vibrations
10 Answers
Tires are known to shake when they have a broken or loose steel belt, and can do it at very specific speeds on certain road surfaces. Let a shop spin balance the tires and tell them you are experiencing a shake at a specific speed. Again, if the shaking starts at the same speed, it's the tires.

What year Forester? If this car has a CVT the transmission could be at fault.
My forester is Year 2000

Could be lots of things, like a contaminated inner joint on an axle (DOJ), or even a simple blown tie rod end, ball joint, or broken swaybar link. I've seen them all result in idiosyncratic vibration.

There's also a small chance that you have a front diff bad pinion shaft bearing.
I have a 2014 forester steering vibrations at highway speeds. I only have 47k miles!! Took it to the shop and they found it to be the lower control arm bushings worn out left and right side. It was still covered under warranty!I am not an aggressive driver at all. My concern is, is this going to be an issue every 40-50k miles? I guess I’ll just have to cross that bridge when I get there!
