Oh, it's nice and quiet again. Just a off chance bearing pitting. I changed fluid for good measure and see what it looked like. Turns out grease can throw balance way out. Runs smooth again.
Side note: the new cv's don't pop like the old ones under wot!

Warped rotors can cause the steering wheel to shimmy.A temp way to find out for sure is installing some cheap parts store pads.After you put the new pads on it will shimmy real bad on high speed stops.If you leave the pads and old rotors on the shimmy will actually almost go away.The new pads will sorta true up the runout.Im not really reccomending this since rotors are so cheap now but,Ive done it couple times.

Rotors and pads are both new. As in two weeks old. I swapped them out under warranty thinking that was the issue. I hav had a few hard hard stops with them from 80+ to zero with now wobble. A little heat but no wobble.
Otho k she is good to go. It's smooth now beside the little small small vibe from the rear. But the tires were cupped pretty bad from takin too long to rotate. It's very very slight up and down type of vibe.

Yessir man, grease on the inside of the wheel will definitely affect the balance (as you just found out)...think of the movie "Cousin Vinny"..."You got mud in the tires" lol. We get a lot of folks coming in this time of year complaining about shimmies and vibrations, and the wheels are impacted with snow and ice, same concept as the grease or mud.
