Actually I took it to a shop that fixed the front by balancing them on
the car.  I must have some out of balance rotors or the shops I was
taking it to before were junk.  He said exactly what you said below for
the rear wheels; he could work out the vibration on them but the half
shafts are making it impossible.

Thanks.

Are you certain it is in the front?  You may have a CV joint going south

in the back.  At least check them for slop.
