Steering wheel vibration

I just got my 60K miles maintenance service done. There was some cupping on my front tires so they did an alignment. I was getting some steering wheel vibration before the service, so I thought the alignment might help. Still getting it though at around 80 mph. Could the uneven wear of the front tires be contributing to the vibration, or could it be something else?

your tires may be out of balance and or spacers are the cause.

I would check the flat spots or any debries on the tires and rebalance all wheels. If that doesnt fix it, then check if any wheels are bent, then look at the front suspension. In that order

Thanks. It probably is a balance issue. One of my front wheels got bent a couple of months ago, but the wheel was fixed and balanced fine at that time. I'll balance all the wheels and see the results. If that doesn't help, then I'll take a look at the suspension.
