Car vibrating?

im rolling up on 230,000kms on my 97 Acura 2.2, anyone have any idea what would be causing this problem?

About 75% of the time my car seems to vibrate, especially when cruising on the highways, or in 1st gear in traffic, sometimes i dont feel it, sometimes i do....its quite annoying really.....feels like its rocking back and forth, hard to explain really..

i know my questions vague, any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Its hard to say man, 230k miles is a lot. My first guess would be a combination of things.

Cruising oh highway: bent rims
rocking back and forth: motor mounts or bushings
hows the alignment?

I'd say wheel bearing, or bent rim. Are your tires balanced, allignment?

I remember driving the other night and running over something that felt like plastic didnt see what it was, i wonder if that bent my rim

I did an alignment when i changed my brakes around 20k ago im guessing, seems straight doesnt pull on me really......
