Jumping at freeway speeds

At certain wierd speeds (64 but not 62, 70 but not 68) I feel the wheels or something down there make a skipping, 'hopping' motion, could this be the axles, differential, or what? Thanks.

could be that or improper wheel balancing.

the reason it's just those speeds could be that you're hitting the natural vibration frequency at just that moment.

Cool

Add underinflated tire, and blown struts to that list.
