Default Re: Steering wheel shaking

I was told when I had the tires replaced that the right front wheel bearing had a little play but was told it didn't need to be replaced yet. The shaking starts at about 65 mph but goes away for the most part at around 75 mph. Any help would be great.
The only new parts are brake pads? (shoes are on drum brakes)

If the rotors were also replaced and it started after they were replaced I would not investigate tires. Unless the shop knocked off some wheel weights. What rotors were used? Was the runout measured after they were installed on the car? Rotors can be out of balance or have a heavy side.
