Front End vibration

I’ve been having a front end vibration that has slowly been getting worse over time. It is not constant, I will go over a bump in the road and the vibration will start. Then I will go over another bump and the vibration will quit. At other times the vibration will just be constant. The vibration does go away when I turn on the four-wheel-drive. I replace the hub assemblies about four years ago. I recently had a shop replace all the calipers and brakes all the way around the truck and they said that the driveshaft and axles felt sturdy and tight. Any suggestions would help. Thank you!

find the worn out part and fix or replace it.

culprits are literally everything that rotates but the most common causes are:

tires
rims
driveline ujoint
axle ujoint
wheel bearing or the needle behind the unit bearing

Rims, tires, and u-joints are all good. It very well may be a bearing, but I had a bearing go bad before and this is acting a little different. Would activating 4 wheel drive stabilize a bad bearing?
