Default Vibration at 70 mph

I've notice while driving my 99 at 70 mph I feel a vibration, feels like it is coming from the rear. Had it check by local shop and they seem to thank it's the left wheel bearing.Drop speed down to 65 mph no vibration any infomation on this will help. Also looking for someone too, who works on corvettes not getting good results at dealerships thanks again down in Louisiana.

I'd start with the simple things and have the wheel rebalanced, particularly if its the rear.

Get it road-force balanced if possible. Find a shop that uses Hunter equipment. Costs a little more, but well worth it if you are having vibration issues.

It's probably a wheel bearing. They aren't that expensive if you DIY.
