My Subaru liberty 2006 has a vibration through the steering wheel at cruising speeds. not viloent shudders but almost like wheel balance probelm. I have had wheels balanced, lower control arm bushes replaced still same problem. I had wheels repaired from dealer when I brought car could the wheels be slightly off centre? Any other suggestions?

Typical behavior for a wheel is out of balance. Get all four checked. Also look for bulges on the inside of the tyres. If the camber is that noticeable, you also need wheel alignment doing as well. It also sounds as though the suspension or steering joints are severely worn, and if a top or bottom joint fails, the wheel falls out, top or bottom leaving you stranded on the road.
Sounds like a bent wheel or a tire out of balance - one of the front tires/wheels. The shaking happens when you get to a speed that causes a sympathetic vibration in the suspension or steering joints. If there doesn't seem to be any vibration or back and forth movement of the steering wheel at slower speeds, I'd lean toward the tire being out of balance.
have you checked the engine mounts, weak engine mounts can make it vibrate, if you could tell me more were the vibration is sounding like its coming from front or back it may help more to find the problem. also have you had the balance weight checked on the drive shaft. this can cause a problem like this. if you have a ring on the drive shaft there is a ring, then it is missing. and that is why you are geting this fault. you will need to have a new one fitted.
If your tires are not balanced or you have a warped rim this will do this, especially at certain speeds you will notice it more, I would have your rims balanced first, and keep in mind if a rim is not able to be balanced it is warped.
sounds like its just wheel balance but 2 be sure check your wheel nuts r tight also if you getting shudders under braking u may need front disc rotors skimed also when sitting still turn steering left2right make sure u cant feel any play or clunks
Yes...That's probably a 50 or 55 series tire which by the nature of it's short sidewall will give you a "stiff" ride as compared to a more typical 70 series. Verify that the vibration does not come only when you are braking or accelerating. If you vibrate only when cruising then 95%(unofficial stat) of the time it comes from the tire/wheel/balance assembly.
