Default noise and vibration on freeway

I have a 93 mazda mx-3 V-6. when I drive my car on freeway up to 75 mph, i could hear some noise with vibration. Does anyone know what might cause the noise and vibration? Might it be the wheel bearing?

thanks for helping!

Where abouts is it coming from?

Hubs? Engine? Body?

Does your wheel vibrate as well? i had that problem with one of my cars. It turns out that a wheel was missing a weight so it would throw off the balance at high speed. might be the problem.

nope, I didn't feel any vibration from the wheel. it's weird when I turn the wheel slightly to the left or right, the noise and the vibration will be gone.

i had the same problem wit my 94 4cyl..mine was in the rear tires..when i got them all balenced n aligned..problem wen t away for the most part..road noise in most mx3's is normal..that was a downfall in making them..plus if u drive rough roads..remeber its a uni-body so it might bend n that will cause it as well..
