Need Diagnosis..., Front end suspension area is vibrating while driving.. Options

[Betta-J]

So, lately I've noticed that on the highway my front area of the car vibrates. I am sure it's between the two front tires or at those locations b/c it vibrates up there. It's very sporadic and I can't tell when it will happen again. I have checked my tie rods (don't know if I can tell if they are broke or not, but physical damages or cracks I can't see), I don't think it's my wheel bearings, and my stabilzer bar looks to be in tact. I have also checked my CV rods/CV boots and don't see any physical damage (again, don't know for sure). I took my wheels off and put them back on to see if I didn't tighten them or something. I can't find anything wrong.

These are the times it starts up:
-when decelerating from 70mph (just letting go of the pedal)
-when I'm going down hills on the highway (I had cruise control on, but it's like the above--maintains speed)
-when I accelerate quickly from 70-75/80mph
-at higher speeds (at 5th gear)

Any help would be appreciated. If you can PM me that would be great too.

Is this a symptom that Celica's have? I figured the 99 wouldn't have any problems. (if anyone knows a site that lists all of the known things that go wrong with the 6GC, I would appreciate that too)

Thanks.

wow i've been having some serious trouble locating any kind of axles for my celi. pep boys, autozone, and advance auto have all told me they can't even order it! thats ftl.

Napa's site said they have one in stock (left) in one location and the other (right) in another location 40 miles apart. I'll call them in the morning and hopefully if all goes well I'll have them in by evening and I can tell you if they are any good!

griff- I checked online @ toyotaworld for roughly how much OEM axles would be, ~450 for one side! I didnt bother to look at the other side. Remanufactured ones can't be terribly bad UNLESS the axle itself is bent. Otherwise it just depends on the quality of the CV joint itself no? Because they are rebuilding OEM toyota axles to start with... unless im missing something?
