Puzzled at These Vibration Issues

Hey everyone so today I replaced all of the bearings and the rotors and the brakes. The brakes also included brand new hardware such as return Springs and excetera. The issue that I'm having now and I'm not sure whether it's the tires or something else is that when I drive at any speed of the vehicle vibrates on the right side in the front but when I stop I don't have pulsating brakes except for every once in awhile when I have to break excessively hard. I checked the rotors and there's no uneven wear and the tires don't have any uneven wear either. So I'm wondering what this could be. Also it should be known that this truck has 231000 miles and also that to my knowledge most of the front suspension needs to be replaced but what should I check first besides the rotors the bearings the brakes and tires? Any advice would be awesomely appreciated.

2WD or 4WD. Might help us diagnose. :-)

Try moving the tires around front/rear and see if the vibe goes away or moves with the tires.

And of course if the front suspension parts are all shot, you could be getting enough play from something there to give the vibration.

My drive shaft was out of balance..re-balance and new u-joints and that resolved my problem.

This was in my thoughts also. I had a drive shaft vibration and just had a custom driveshaft made. The only thing that makes me rethink it is that he said that the vibration is coming from one side. Driveline vibrations are usually felt all over. Could be a possibility though.
