Default Wheel shake


So I have a little bit of a shake in the steering wheel whenever I do anything over 50. I have already done an alignment and wheel balance so my next thought was wheel bearings, well that wasn’t it either? Any thoughts?

Springs and shocks, ball joints, warped rotors or sticking calipers ... ect.

What mods you running up front? Miles? 2 or 4 wd?

Btw mine shakes for the first 15 miles then is just a light shimmy not unlike my 2011 jeep.

If you have checked everything obvious then you probably have a bad tire. Rotate them front to back and see if anything changes.
