I have a 2005 Liberty 3.7l automatic 156k miles.

Almost as soon as I start rolling, I can feel a vibration in the steering wheel. At very low speed it feels like I'm on a stone road. It is worse around 25 mph. I can feel it in th steering wheel, the floor, and the seat. It almost goes away after 35mph. Coming to a stop, it gets worse again 35mph to almost stopped. It almost feels like a warped rotor, but I don't have my foot on the brake. I took it to a local shop and they found the boomerang bushings were shot, so I replaced it.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

like turbo said, this sounds like front cv joint is seized up, tires are easier to check first though

I found the source of my vibration. Front drive shaft rear CV joint.

Front driveshaft CV joint at the transfer case? Rear driveshaft u joints?
I replaced the front driveshaft thinking that was the issue. The rear CV joint boot was completely gone. That did not fix the issue. It is still vibrating, not as bad at low speeds. I'm thinking rear driveshaft because the vibration is at steady speed or accelerating. It almost completely goes away when letting off the gas.
