Default What parts might need replacing?

So I got my front struts, strut mounts, and strut bearings replaced a few weeks ago and reused the old springs because they seemed fine. The terrible shaking is gone now, but there's a little shaking still remaining, more toned down in force and doesn't completely make the car undrivable. But it's there and I feel like it might be the wheel bearings, but it could also be any other things. I'll ask my mechanic to look at it too, but I feel there's some suspension components that might need attention, but I don't know what. What can a bad wheel bearing do on my car?

Thanks.

Possibly a wheel bearing. More likely the tire has worn oddly due to bad struts. Inspect the tires for flat spots. Try swapping tires around to see if the vibration changes.

If all else fails check for a bent wheel the next time you get tires. I had chased a slight shimmy forever with alignments and new tires and no one ever told me I had a bent rim until I asked the tire company to specifically measure the rims.
