First I have a vibration from about 0-30mph. The rear tires are worn pretty uneven. The previous owner didnt rotate them properly and tore the fronts so I put them in the back. Its nothin to harsh but I notice it. I would think it it were a bearing or somethin serious it would continue at higher speeds as well?
Also I get a shake in the steering wheel from about 35-45mph. its intermitent but worse when i hit bumps, any ideas on a fix?

As for the tire wear, it could've been how the last owner drove it that was causeing it to wear funny in combination with not rotating. Can you describe the kind of wear they have? That'll help to determine what might be wrong, if anything, with your suspension/steering components.
Your other shake sounds like the beginning of the infamous death wobble. check out all your bushings on the steering components, especially your track bar, tie rod ends, and ball joints.

The lugs on the tire are worn unevenly. like adjoining ones and 1/8 different in height.
I looked over everything in the suspension and everything seems tight.

Will do. think im gonna take a day off this week and repalce the rear pinion seal anyway. Its go a slight leak and I wanna get to it while the weather is still nice.
Sorry wrong words. the thread block on the tires and uneven. I could see it happening if you drove alot between 35-45 with that shake. Tires were rotated and seem to be getting better.
