Default Vibration at 60

Since my last wheel allignment/rotation I have noticed that the Jeep creates an escalating vibration if I sit at a constant 60kmh, either if it is on cruise control or if I keep it consistantly at 60kmh.
If I tap the brakes or accelerator it stops straight away but will build up again if I settle back down to a constant 60.
It doesn't happen at 50, 70 or any other speed though.

Anyone had anything similar?

Just take it back to where you had it done, something isn't right, get them to sort it.

Does the vibartion get worse when you go over 60 ?
Do you feel the vibration through the steering wheel or the foot pedals?

Either way, I would take it back to where you got the alignment from.

yep, you also had a wheel rotation, could be something as simple as a wheel balance. but certainly take it back.
