Steering wheel vibration after 100km/h

Hi guys,
Have a steering wheel vibration at 100 km/h and up to 120... Any ideas what to check first?

PS: wheel alignment has been done not long ago...

Tyre balance most likely.

...or if you have steel rims one or more may be bent a little.

Has been done about 10k kms ago, both wheel alignment and balancing. Had a little vibration after first maybe 2k kms, but now... it's annoying.

Noticed that over last 30K kms steering fluid went down below MIN COLD level about 5mm below. But no leaks.

...or if you have steel rims one or more may be bent a little.

nope, all alloys and all in perfect condition...

Had similar in a previous 120.
Turned out to be a front drive shaft bearing

Replaced them recently as well... well, I'll check them again.

Its likely a wheel has thrown a weight and the balance is out.

Its not that uncommon.

Go basic then what the rest have suggested . Mud or build up on rims. Check inside rims. Then the balance. See if you can see where the weights for balance may have come off. Have a push pull on the front wheels. Check for bearings loose. Check wheel nuts. Get some one in the cab and get them to rock the steering while you look and see something loose or flogged. Compare it to another joint or opposite side. Check drive shafts, uni joints.

Check for runout in the tyres

Balance + alignment. What happened with alignment is a good question, cause as I said before it was done recently... Well. Problem solved.

PS: Thanks to all!
