Hi everyone,

i been having this light steering wheel shake going on that is noticeable but nothing crazy.
i have replaced outer tie rod ends, ball joint, control arms (both sides) only thing left is possibly my wheel bearing but I do not hear noises that could indicate if its the issue. The tires are all new all around SRT replica wheels with Falken tires 265/35/22 and rotors and pads have also been done all around as well. Six months ago for the brakes.
anyone out there possibly know what is going on?

Try moving tires to rear see if it straightens out. Also this is a long shot, but belt and tension-er recommended replacement for both is 60,000 miles it may not be giving enough power to steering rack and has built up some air in system.

I was beginning to think it is my wheel bearings I do not hear any sounds but a slight humming sound. It feels a little lose also and wobbly. The belt and tension-er can cause shaking to the suspension?

Not to suspension but to engine which can travel through car. If you suspect a wheel bearing, drive in a large circle one way then the other and see which way is more predominant. If it does it in a left hand circle then it is a right side etc.
