So I have mounted spacers on the car together with new tires, and what I have - I have the same small vibration as I had before !!!!
Actually I don't have idea where else to look: rims & tires are new, drive shafts are checked on special machine - they are straight ....
What else ??

Who can help ?? :-))) All the time the same answers - probably your rims are not balanced properly, probably your tires are bad..... all the time the same, but here could be mo reasons - just one came to my mind that could be because of wheel bearing was not straight/proper installed, is it possible cause ???

I'm just trying to assertain were the noise is comming from (front or rear of the car?),
what kinda noise (grinding, howling, scrubbing, banging, ect..........?),
when does the noise accure (slow speed, while turning, while going straight, ect.........?)
If it were a wheel bearing a quick test would be to go around after a drive and feel the rims center caps were the wheel bolts go through......is it hot? is the car making a hawling noise while going around corners, or straight?
I know you have replaced a lot of stuff and I know you know your car better than anyone and I know that you have went over every inch of the car shaking things, making sure nuts and bolts, fasteners ect are all tight.

:-))) but I didn't say "i have a noise from my suspension". I did say "I have small vibration" and "vibrating starts somewhere from 100km/h speed". And I think (I'm not 100% sure) it's coming from front passengers side and rear passengers side, but as I said I'm not sure from where exactly!
And about bearing - if it is fitted not straight, might be it's making wheel to turn not straight the full turn and it causing that vibration ?? I'm just guessing now... but there is no any noise from anywhere.
I just had to replace front drivers side bearing, it was easy to detect because from ~60km/h I could really feel where from the noise is coming.
Here is the video what did happen with *** wheel bearing after ~10000km of running... I was surprised with so short lifetime

P.S. Yes, all 'rubbers' on suspension are changed out, and all are properly tight, but anyway I have ordered set of polyurethane bushes from Powerflex to replace those bonded rubber mountings at the front because I'm already fed up with changing them each 3-4000km!
