Could be a few things , wheel balance , wheel bearings , top / bottom ball joints , track rod ends , will need to be looked at by a mechanic to find the actual cause

I had the same issue and had to replace the Hub Assembly on the passenger's side...a few months later I also had to replace the Hub Assembly on the Driver's side. My uncle is a mechanic and said it is not uncommon in the Malibu. I hope this helps! Now I am noise free, with the exception of the rattle coming from the dash since day one!

You have a 100.000 mile powertrain warrenty on your Tahoe. You can take it to the dealership and have it fixed for free, as long as there is a true problem.

My steering wheel is shacking at 35 - 50.

Sounds like a bent wheel or a tire out of balance - one of the front tires/wheels. The shaking happens when you get to a speed that causes a sympathetic vibration in the suspension or steering joints. If there doesn't seem to be any vibration or back and forth movement of the steering wheel at slower speeds, I'd lean toward the tire being out of balance.

check your upper control arms, does it happen when you step on the brakes or just when driving, you might need a balance of all your wheels or the tires you have could be bad.

Front End shaking

Most likely with this problem is the front tires. The tires maybe " out of balance " or " out of round " causing the vibration at certain speeds.

Vibration in the front end over 100 kph

Most likely your tires. Tires are usually the issue with speed related vibration issues. How old and how many miles/kilometers do you have on your tires and what make and model are they? Check for flat spots and bulges, even when properly balanced unevenly worn tires can give you bad shaking. If you have other noises or more severe indications at slower speeds.
