Wheel shack at 60-70 Mph

Hey guys got a 2013 RS camaro that i picked up in October and noticed it had bad wheel shack when i would hit 60-70 mph and then it would subside. Well i went to discount and had my buddy balance my wheels and the issue is still there and then when coming from any speed above 70 while braking it shakes bad until it hits the 50 mph range. I don't know what could be causing it does anyone have any ideas of where i should look????

Wheel Shack, Wheel Shack baby!

If the wheels are balanced correctly, I would be looking into the drive line components. IE
Drive shaft, U-joints, yokes, rear end, axles shafts and so on.

Is the wheel shack anything like the love shack?

Tell your Buddy to turn off the Smart Weighting feature on the Balancer and spin them again. That is the only way my wheels will balance. My Forgetars with Nitto Invos and later my ZL1's had to be balanced this way.......Road force did not do it......
