I had a vibration in the steering wheel even after having the tires balanced; following other posts I:
1.Researched Hunter Wheel Balancers and Vibration Control Machines at their web site and found a local dealer (actually a Saab dealer) who had the machine. The machine will detect runout and will match the tire balance with the wheel balance to find the optimal mating of the two.
2.Found two rims had lateral runout.
3. Replaced the two rims with used/reconditioned ones and had the same system mount and balance: Problem solved.
4.I also had a 4-wheel alignment done for peace of mind.
Other posts suggest shock mounts mis-aligned, worn, or in need of retorque, various front suspension components that could be worn. I'd start with the rims.
