Check your alignment first. Usually this wear will be caused by to much toe in/out.

Check tires for scalloping (uneven shape of tire). This uneven surface (caused by the wear you are having a problem with) may be causing the vibration.

Then check your brake rotors (one may be warped?)

Then wheel balance. Then tie rods. Visually inspect controll arm bushings for tearing.

Also make sure front wheel bearings are ok.
