I dunno, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
So after all was said and done, here's what all was done before the REAL solution was found.

Vibration in front end caused steering wheel to vibrate from 48-60mph, then at high speeds of appoximately 90mph
Multiple shops balanced and rotated tires all the way around.
CV axle was replaced on passenger side front.
Wheels were found to have too much runout, therefore a new wheel was purchased and swapped...problem continued.

SOLUTION.....replaced driver shaft.
Absolutely no vibration and runs like new.
Hope this helps someone else so they don't have to go through the same unknowing hell I did trying to fix it.
