Default 04 Heritage Vibration + Rotors

Hello all!
Whenever I go 60MPH or faster my truck starts to shake or vibrate, it gets worse the faster I go. I took it to a shop and I believe they fixed a bad wheel bearing but I'm still having the same issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm also looking to get new rotors but I cant find much information, does anyone have brands they trust or have experience with bad ones?

Source of the problem could be any number of things...tires/shocks/ball joints/etc .....

If the shop fixed something and the problem is still there, go back to the shop and tell them the repair did not solve the problem.

As for rotors, go with Motorcraft (OEM) and be done with it.

You need new rotors or to have yours turned most likely
You can check the lateral runout with a dial indicator on a magnetic base
Anything over .005" you will feel (thickness variation can be checked as well)
I see new rotors come with .002 - .003 lateral runout
You can feel that on some Caddies and other cushy rides
