Default Front end vibration at 50mph +

Good Morning-
Looking for some input- I have some vibration that get pretty excessive at highway speeds following the little 'over zealous' impromptu off-roading endeavor. After flagging down a nice man with a winch and some killer mud tires we pulled her out.
afterwords I had some vibrations in steering, when driving to a car wash. Rinsed out the undercarriage, it alleviated some of the initial vibrations (clay/mud on the rim). It persisted but only at speeds of 55-higher. Last September I replaced the front suspension, pretty much entirely.
Any thoughts? I think it might be the balance of the tires/alignment. I did not go into the 'Crick' hard but was cutting the wheel back/forth to attempt to back out.
Thanks!

Could have mud inside the rims, could have thrown a wheel weight. Get everything cleaned up underneath take it in have the tires rebalanced and go from there

That's what I was thinking and hoping-
Will have it re-balanced.
I appreciate the input :-)

I have had the same issue a couple months ago. It was caused by the dysfunctional electrical parking brake, the parking brake pads was loosed so it left too few space between itself and the brake disk, I replaced the EPB and rear brake pads, disks. Then the issue solved. Maybe different cause as yours but hope it can help. When you get the same issue again next time, please check if the rear brakes work properly. Usually it will become too hot to touch.
