I have newish tires, a new alignment, and a new rear wheel bearing and my mountaineer wobbles at anything above 45-50 mph. The steering FEELS loose but isn't. I had the tires put on last fall and had to replace a rear wheel bearing in February, along with a joint of some sort and something with the axel. I asked the shop to rebalance the tires at the time because of the wobble, which they did, but obviously it wasn't a balance problem because the wobble is still there. What should I expect the guys at the shop to tell me is wrong?

Just to eliminate the tires and rims
rotate switch tires around
road test it
check if the wobbling moved around



also
check drive shafts and axles
