need a little help with ride quality ??

OK so i am getting a vibration from the front of the car at highway speeds. no noises nust a slight bouncing. I have just changed my pads and rotors, rotated my tires and put new front shocks on. Any ideas?? thanks.

it only really does it starting around 50 and stays pretty consistent. it feels like i am driving over a road they are in the middle of paving and it is uneven, if that makes sense

Did you balance the tires before rotating?

A funky tire that is used to running straight and rolling- can go bad when moved to the front where it must pull the car and turn.
Check the caliper mount torque and the wheel lugs should be at 80 ft lbs torque
Very important!
