A subtle wheel imbalance that causes the wheel to rotate slightly off-centre.

A bad wheel alignment won't cause a vibration. Forget that. More than likely your tires need balanced. Out of balance tires or out of round tires, or separated belts on a tire will cause a vibration. First run your hand around the tires and feel for a separated belt on the tire. If none are there, balance the tires.

Maybe your wheels are not balanced correctly. Road head the leading cause of steering wheel vibration.

I'd opt for getting your wheels balanced. That's a common cause of the vibrating you're describing --- especially if the tyres have taken a few knocks from the curb etc. Have them balanced (and tyres replaced if required) but if the vibes continue, get it checked out at your garage.

If you reach a certain speed and your steering wheel vibrates at that speed but stops vibrating at say...5 mph higher then it is your tire balancing (it's incorrect). You need to have the tires rebalanced.

Get your wheels tracked & balanced - shudnt cost much like £10-15.
Then make sure all air in tyres are correct pressures... If you still find you have the problem then it could be wheel bearings or even a bubble on the tyre...

in the experience that they stated your hub bearings favor doing then why placed funds into wheel balancing that ain`t gonna bypass away. Do your self a favour and get it looked after . even as the bearing does settle on to bypass this is going to value you a lot more effective than a set of wheel bearings

Misaligned wheels is the #1 reason. Uneven tread wear is caused by #1 and then contributes to the shaking.
Some older cars, unfortunately, will always shake above a certain speed, no matter how well the wheels are aligned. It may be a bearings or ball joint or other suspension problem, but to me, it's always a sign to start saving for a new car; a sign that other costly repairs will soon be needed.

Alignment does not cause vibration. Common causes are wheel balance, or that a tyre is beginning to delaminate. Also can be slightly buckled wheet, clobbered any gutters recently?
