Not such good vibrations

Hey I went up to Williams Lake for a little vist which is about 900km one way. Half way there I noticed a strange vibration that went on and off every second or two. This only happen when I go over 120 which is about 70-75mph. The vibrations seem to be coming from front right side. I think this is a good time to mention that I just had a wheel bearing sieze a month and a half ago and had to replace the whole left wheel assembly and part of the right. Both sides got new Warn hubs put in and worked great until this trip. I really am not too sure what this could be from. Any help would be great so I have an idea of what I am dealing with. Thanks

Oh I forgot so mention that it gets really pronounced the higher the speeds. Up around 140km/h it is almost unbarable, I definitely woudn't want to hold that speed for more than 30 seconds.

I'll try unlocking the hubs a few times and see if it will go away, if not I will get the tires balanced. Thanks
