Front End Vibration - Endless Possibilities V70-XC70 2000

I brought the car in for regular service about 2 wks ago. I noticed a front end vibration (strong enough to shake the rearview mirror) and subsequently had all tires rebalanced. Vibration still there, and left side rotor heating up. Had tires balanced AGAIN, replaced left rotor and sticking left caliper, as well as pads on both sides. Guess what, vibration STILL there. I've seen everything on the forum from motor mounts to rotors to sway bar bushings as the possible culprit. Tires have about 30k on them, almost time for new rubber. I'm going to replace the rotor on the right side, and if that doesn't work, I'm giving up. Axles and CV boots look clean (no leakage). Insights, wisdom, comments all appreciated. The only upside is that I've only spent about 1/4 of what the dealer would have charged me for the same work.

Thanks in advance.
