Strange Vibration - 2002 LeSabre

Monday we took a 400 mile trip and I noticed the right front wheel has a vibration between 45-55 mph going strait and accelerating but not decelerating. It got to the point where the hub cap came off - we lost it towards the end of the trip.

I am a little stumped on this. I had replaced both tie rod ends and the left front wheel bearing hub the week before. Neither tire has any play when I jack them up and check. I dont hear any CV joint noise or vibration when turning.
The rim and tire looks normal upon visual inspection.

I had both front tires balanced at the end of October (Firestone all season). The wifey drives this car. Maybe she hit a pothole and knocked the balancing out. I can get the Right tire balancing checked.

I am going to have new front struts put in next week. That should help too.
