From the BGB:
Tire inflation
tire tread
tire balance
Shocks
Alignment
Hub bearing
Ball joint
steering linkage
steering gear.

You've already done tires, next is shocks (standard bounce test) and then checking the alignment. Camber, toe and caster are easily adjusted, front and back. I'd align all 4, a rear wheel alignment problem might vibrate in the front. If you're like me and too cheap to go to an alignment shop, just check toe-in by measuring between the treads (I use a standard tape measure) on the front side and back side of the tire, front should be slightly in, but both measurements should be within 1/16th of an inch. While you're at it, check the bushings, a collapsed bushing will put you out of alignment.
