Crazy Vibrations
So the last couple weeks or so I have had noticeable steering wheel vibration. Hasn't gotten worse as of late, just goes left and right very quickly above 45mph. I have 18x9s of front and 18x10.5s in the back, so rotating is out of the question. I thought it was an alignment issue, but the guy at a shop thought it was more of a balancing issue. I have had the front tires for about 15k miles.
I guess my question is: What do you guys think it is bc I don't want to have them check it out and tell me its the ball joint or tie rods or some crazy expensive repair. Its the last thing I need after just upgrading the front brakes. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

Thanks guys, I'll check the lug buts first then go on to the other stuff. It was kinda funny when I brought it to the shop, bc just from my description and no visual of the problem, the Ford mechanic was convinced that there was no way of saving the tires. Lol he sounded as if it he thought it couldn't be fixed with just balancing and an alignment. All i got was the ole "I'll see what I can do." Stupid dealerships.

You said you did brakes, than the vibrations started? Sounds like the wheels got moved when being put back on the car. If a tire has worn into a bad wheel bearing or worn front suspension, than moved.. it can cause a vibration.
