Default What would cause this?

I just put a set of used wheels on my jeep with the same tires I ran before. Now when I go about 60-65 I get a shimmy shake feeling from the passenger side front. It's nothing uncontrollable but definately noticeable. I took the tires and got them balanced and rotated them and still the same. I have a little play in the track bar but that wouldn't cause the vibration.

It did this before with my old wheels but not til 75-80. I don't know what to do.

Any suggestions would be great.

I'm taking it to get looked at tomorrow and also if the wheel was bent how come it still would balance.

Would the fact that it gets worse when I'm turning on the highway mean anything.
