My front-end vibration cured - with wheel bearings

I know many have speculated on various causes of front end vibration and I am sure than there can be several culprits. I had lived with a shaking front wheel for a few years now and have replaced a crap-ton of parts over time. Stanchion bushings, ball joints, tie-rod ends. Several sets of wheels, one set recently straightened. Fresh tires. Road force balancing. Struts & bearings. All in all, a lot of parts.
Finally I managed to talk myself into replacing wheel bearings. The old ones disassembled themselves on removal and didn't look bad inside. They didn't make your typical bad bearing noise and there wasn't any play that you could feel by pushing on the wheel.
But that was it. No more wobbling steering wheel. Not saying that it's a cure-all, but it's what cured me.
