Some context first, 05 saturn vue, rusty p.o.s Front right wheel bearing was replaced about 3 months ago. Bought the car second hand, unsure of previous repairs by previous owner.

Now, the issue at hand.

Initially, the shaking only occured while turning. It would rumble/vibrate/shake going into the turn, and go away once straightened out. I took the tire off to see if there was any obvious mechanical issues. Keep in mind, I’m no mechanic. Tie rod ends are potentially worn. The bushings are shot. (Tie rod bushing? Control arm bushings? Not sure which would correct.) I found the pin in caliper was dry as a bone, so applied grease to pin and reinstalled.

After putting wheel back on, i feel the violent shaking or vibrating coming from the front left side, but now while driving straight. First appeared around 90km/h (I’m canadian, we use km) After pulling over and inspecting, nothing appeared out of the ordinary.

Any ideas? Wheel bearing shot? Tie rods? Could the bushings affect the vehicle this way?

If any more info is needed, ask away. Hoping to find a solution ASAP so i can get parts ( or find a shop to do it if it’s out of my paygrade)
