i had brake rotors and pads, one control arm and tie rod replaced there where bad. also had front tires balanced as well. when driving on high way over 70mph i feel a vibration on steering wheel no wobble the sound is not loud tires are good year used but have a lot of tread, the rear tires are worn some tread left a little bald on the edge. so what can i do?
have rear tires replaced,balanced and switch them from front to back?
or can it be axles or wheel bearing? i have read some where that shocks can also cause this vibration

was the front end aligned after all the parts were replaced? try moving front tires to back and see if that helps. then check wheel bearings and axles.

Hi Hmac today i swapped the tires front to back drove the car and what a difference! but the the vibration still there just a little bit not like before so im guessing problem must have been tires now since the tires a near bald i have to change them balance and align them. so after that will see about the wheel bearing and axles
