Have you looked at the suspension on the passenger side yet for anything out of the ordinary or broken?

Does it only happen at a certain speed? I would be more suspect of the tire. You can try rotating the tires and see if the vibration follows it

coil spring holds weight of vehicle, shock controls jounce and rebound.
