May have lost a wheel weight. Have you rotated the tires to see if the vibration moves? Have you checked the tie-rods? Being 6 years old, how are the shocks?

Guessing that your Sport is a 4x4.

Here’s a list of other possible causes for front-end vibrations:

Worn wheel bearings
Worn king pin bearings
Worn tie rod ends
Worn out steering damper
Misaligned drive shaft(s)
Worn drive shaft(s)
Damaged drive shaft(s)
Worn Transmission/transfer case mounts
Misaligned transmission/transfer case
Recent suspension lift
Larger tires
Tires out of balance/lost weight(s)
Tire with broken/shifted belt
Uneven tire wear
Warped rotors
Worn pinion bearings
Worn transfer case bearings
Diff or transfer case flange(s) out of round
