Default 2000 civic si wheel bearings

Just replaced front axles and balljoints on front and now I feel some vibrations from the back of the car. Could it be wheel bearings, are could it be something else. Thanks

It could be about a dozen different things. When was the last time the rears were balanced? When did you last rotate your tires?

Put the rear on jack stands. Grab the wheel at 12/6, and try to wiggle it. Now grab at 9/3 and try to wiggle it. Report back once you've done that.

If there's no play, then your wheel bearings, ball joints, and bushings are all fine. That narrows it down to either tire cupping, bad balancing, or a bad alignment.

Post multiple pictures of your tire tread, preferably with a quality camera, and well-lit. Balancing and alignment should both be checked professionally.
