The front end starts shaking when you hit around 75mph, why?
I have had the front struts and rear shocks replaced. (Bilsteins)
4 new oem steel wheels
4 new tires, Cooper.
Replaced upper and lower control arms
New oem rotors and brake pads
What I’m I missing?

Up here to the right
Only at 75? Starts at 75 then once you get to 76-80 it stops?

sounds like balance issue to me. Id have the wheels balanced again and swap front to back one side at a time...

Did you have it aligned? If so post the readings before and after. Feel in the steering wheel or the floor thru your feet or see the front end shake. Swap the front and rear tires and wheels and see what happens. If the shake follows the front tires to the rear, then you should feel in the seat of your pants. Can even have someone ride in back and see if they feel in their seat.

No, it continues to shake and need to slow back down to 70

My 15 yukon shook at 78ish and above. Tires were out of balance. Easiest thing to do is swap front to back to test this theory or put your old wheels on if it didn’t wobble before.

other possibilities are warped out of balance rotors. Which is very unlikely but possible. (Experienced on my Tahoe) And alignment which was stated above

Had a brand new tire out of round.

Swapping front to back helped discover the problem.
