Has to be a drive axle,most likely an inner joint,should be able to feel the play if one is bad (jacked up to let the wheel spin freely).
Also. If the front suspension is weak,or lowered, the CV axle will bottom out in the inner plunge cup and make a terrible vibration.

Testimonial: "You Called it !! Both axles were worn out at inner joint left boot blownout dry barings, right axle needle barings gone,baring floating around inside"

2006 Vito 115 cdi vibration when accelerating in third and then vibration felt in the seat and steering wheel when at around 110kmh and above

check front end by starting car have someone rock steering back and forth look for any parts that is moving more than others. keep in mind high speed vibration can be tires, wheel bearing, trainning and mounts. have someone follow you and looking at tires for bearing if both drive tires are shaking look at training and steering. good luck

2006 Pontiac G6 front wheel vibration

sounds like your front end is worn out and yes tie rod ends are a common source of this problem along with out of balance tires and seperated tire cords, any tire store will inspect your car for free and give you an estimate to repair.

Vibration felt in front floorboard

Yes it can but the dealer would have found it on the test drive if they test drove the vehicle. The only other causes for the vibration I can think of should have been found on inspection as well. Check your bushings and mounts for the sway bar and your tie rod ends as well.
