Default Vibration @ 80mph after inspection

Greetings,

I did search first before this post, but I don't think any "vibration" posts are relevant to this. No issues with my truck whatsoever. 2016 F150 Screw 4wd. short bed 5.0. 13,500 miles. I drive the interstate daily for work, where 75 mph to 90 mph is the norm, even though above speed limit. I got the truck inspected 2 weeks ago at a different dealer than I usually go to. Above 80 I can feel vibration in the steering wheel that is coming from front end. Not terrible, but not quite correct. I have checked tire pressure and adjusted thinking maybe it was off, but no correction. I have had this truck up to 106 miles per hour (off the main roads) and no issue. Now after inspection i have vibration above 80mph. Sooooo, my question after this long post is, would there be anything done at dealer that could cause this just in doing the inspection? and do I take it to the dealer who did the inspection or my preferred dealership. If I go to my preferred dealer will they tell me I need to go to where it was serviced or will that matter??? It is also worth noting, I had the oil changed at 8900 miles and the tires rotated; no issues. I do not offroad or drive over rough terrain. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks for taking the time to read this long post.

Not sure what they could have done to cause it but it's possible there is some weight in a wheel in a spot there wasn't before or a weight came off the wheel.

I'd check your wheels...check the torque on the lug nuts and check for a balance weight that may have fallen off.

It happens alot when rotating rear tires to the front. Go have the front tires balanced.

Thanks, to all for advice. I am going to get front wheels balanced and see where that leads......
