    So you haven't replaced the worn steers?

    It's just a little section that's worn on the driver side steer that was caused because it needed an alignment. I don't think it's the tires because it was shaking before I bought those tires as well.

    Yes, steering is fine. It only shakes going over 50 mph.

    Take it to a suspension shop, and have them inspect the front end, remove wheels and check for trueness.
    Remove tires to look inside of them for issues such as delamination.
    Replace shocks regardless of how they look.
    Carefully balance the tires when remounting.

    Just an update. So I replaced the worn steers and the outer rear drive tire that was a lower tread depth than the others on that axle. That resolved the issue. Thanks everyone!
