Sounds like the techs goofed something when they did balancing that you didn't request. That (at least to me, and I'm a tech) is not good work ethic and is fraud.
Anyhow, the vibration and/or wobble of steering wheel can be caused by any of the following.
1. Warped brake rotors
2. Tire/Wheel balance issue
3. Alignment issue
4. Suspension issue
5. Sticking brake caliper
6. Tie rods/ends
7. Wheel bearing(s) failing
Sounds like you've already had wheels/tires balance checked, alignment checked and suspension checked. Should be safe to eliminate 2, 3 and 4 off that list.
I'd say rather unlikely that rotors are warped at only 32k miles, but it's not impossible either. Have the brakes checked for a sticking caliper piston or warped rotor.
Tie rods and wheel bearings can certainly be cause and very easy to diagnose. Jack up front end, support on jack stands. For tie rods, just grab one and try to nudge it in every possible direction. If it will shake around easily then that is your problem.
For wheel bearings, grab the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock positions try to shake it back and forth. Then do the same at 6 and 12 o'clock positions. If there is play/wobble in both directions the bearing is damaged. If no play/wobble, set parking brake and put trans in Neutral. Spin each wheel and listen for any kind of grinding or scraping sound from the center/axle area of the wheel. Use a long screw driver as a stethoscope to hear better, just touch the flat blade end to the back of the axle area and the handle end to your ear.
There's lots of videos on youtube that will show how to do diagnosis yourself. Your favorite tech/shop can do it for you, but will most likely charge a diagnostic fee (can be about $60 and up)
Hope this is some help.
