Shaking at 70mph but not at all the time

First off im sorry if this is the wrong section but its best i could find, when i was out in the car and doing roughly 70mph the car started to shake from the back end or possibly the middle and it did it all the way to a stop, set off again and its all fine , way back hme it happens again, took wheels to get balanced and all are fine now but problem still happens, any advice where to look please

If you live in an area with shitty roads and run wider tires it's possible your wheel bearings are bad. I've already had this problem happen to me quite a few times and replaced 1 front and 2 rear. Might be worth looking into to.

What about the centre bearing on the prop shaft? I would have that checked too. Could indeed be wheel bearings though.
