Ok, so today I started getting some vibration while driving, up to 40 it seems fine, but after that im getting vibration, the steering wheel isnt shaking. no bubbles in the tires. it feels like it might be in the rear, but not certain. could this be a wheel balance issue, tire rod, idler arm? any input would be appreciated.
Check the steering arm damper shocky as it may be failing and not providing the proper dampening effect to the steering. Check the wheel bearing adjustment and condition.

Most common problem would be tires are out a balance. Or, the tires are out of round ( meaning the tires have a hop to it; not completely round ).

Unbalanced tires wont give a vibration all the time at low speeds.Have them balanced and check wheel bearings and ball joints.If it still persists then have the prop shaft balanced

ARE THE RIMS BENT? HOW ABOUT THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS HOW DO THEY LOOK?HOW DOES THE STEERING GEAR BOX LOOK?

If it was a steering arm dampner wouldnt I get wobble in the steering wheel? wheel bearings seem fine.
The wheels spin in a verticle plain and when there is a change of direction the force of the spinning disc tries to resist that change . Because you change direction every minute you are on the road either by steering or the uneven road surface the damper slows down the erratic changes so that they are not transmitted to the steering wheel. To understand the principle. place something that you can spin on a axle(toy top) and spin it then change the angle of the axle and see how the spinning object resists the changed direction. consider what you felt and then imasgine the force involved in a wheel spinning at say 500 rpm multiply that x 2 for 2 wheels going their own way and you will see why that damper has to be good.
