Vibration in Steering wheel
Just got new tires a couple months ago with alignment and balance and i noticed there has been a little vibration in the steering wheel. So i got it realigned and balanced again now it seems to be worse. Usually happens when i get above 45mph it usually starts in the steering wheel and then sometimes up front. I hadnt used the car in a few days and was vibrating like crazy yesterday around 60 on the highway i had a water bottle in the cupholder and it was shaking like crazy but once i get back down to 40 every things fine.
any suggestions?

one way to eliminate weather it is the tires of suspention parts is move the fronts to the rears and the rears to the fronts,
if it continue then you need to look at all your bushings, brakes, hubs, ect,
if it moves to the back then it's your tires or a bent rim

Sounds like wheel bearings... Jack up the car and grab the tire at 12 and 6.. Put the car in neutral, rotate tire can check again. If there is any play at all replace the wheel bearings. You do not want these to fail on you..
Great youtube video on replacing wheel bearings in our cars.

When it was aligned the shop should have spotted a bad tie rod. This would cause slop in the steering not a vibration. Wheel bearing don't always make a noise. They can loosen up and definitely cause a vibration.
I just re-read your first post. After the re-balance it got worse? Then I would go back and have them balance the tires correctly. Some shops just plan suck at balancing tires. I have my wifes jeep back to sears 4 times before they got it right.
Got tires at costco one time and they had 6 inches of lead on one of my rims! I didn't ever drive it before I told them to re-balance the tires..
good luck...
