Default Vibration in wheel

Hi, I just had a new upper control arm put on my car, and before that was fixed my steering wheel always vibrated under braking, acceleration, and at speeds above 35mph

Now my car is ALOT better, It also has new brakes and rotors, the tires were balanced, and the upper control arm on the passenger side was replaced.

Yet still, at speeds over 80-85 I can feel a slight vibration in my steering wheel, and sometimes nder braking as well.

Any Ideas..

Also.. at around 90, 100, 110 etc..the vibration /. shaking becomes more obvious even to passengers.

Thanks.

replacing my control arm bushings stopped vibration when breaking for me.

i get vibration in the wheel at highway speeds, i have just bought some tie rod ends , and i am going to get the steering rack rebuilt as well.

So far my car runs great, but it likes to pull to the right...just a bit.
