Vibration at 75+ mph

So this is what happened, I slid on the snow and hit the front right wheel to the curb while turning left. I was pretty slow like 5-10 mph. Had slight grinding noise from that side, suspected wheel bearing and got it replaced and got the alignment done. Steering wheel starts to vibrate over 75mph. Dealer and the alignment shops said all are good and no bends on any other part.

Has anyone had similar issue? Please help me.

Thanks.

Yes they did. Also, I put the rear wheel to the front as I have directional tires(non impact rim) and the vibration still exist. I took it up to a 100 mph and the vibration was almost gone. Looks like its happening only around 70 to 85 mph.
