I take it the reason the bearings were changed is because of the shaking or were they making noise?
So can you feel the shake in the steering wheel or only the seat of your pants? The reason I ask is to help isolate where the shaking is coming from,, front or rear of the vehicle.
If you feel it in the steering wheel then it's in the front, seat of pants, rear.
The shake could be caused by many things. I'll assume it's the front. Possible causes;
Wheels out of balance.
Uneven torque on lug nuts.
Bent wheel.
Shifted belt in tire.
Warped brake rotors.
Rotor installed and the raised rust spot(s) on the rotor to hub interface isn't aligned with the hole(s) in the hub.
Rust on rotor braking surface.
These are the ones I have seen over the years and I'm sure there's more.
1# One or both front wheels out of balance
2# Uneven wear on front tires
3# Buckled/ out of round wheel rims
4# Lose wheel nuts
5# Lose front wheel bearings
6# Warn or lose front end components
