Default bad vibration up front

eversince i got done with my car it vibrates from the passenger front end. its like a shimmy at first but of course the faster you go the more violent it gets.... the car sat at previous owners house for about 2 years. could it be a flat spot in the tire? i took the tire off and was thinking it was a wheel bearing but it looked fine although the nut was only finger tight. i tightend it put it the tire back on but still vibrates. any suggenstions.

Take your car to a tire shop.

Have them check the balance on both tires.

Alignments a possiblilty, once could be more towed, etc. But it would affect the steering significantly, does it pull any way? does it go to a side on its own? is there a slight scraping noise? or it could be something with the sus[ension.
