does the vibration get any worse when you lightly tap the brakes?
And is it coming through the steering wheel or the whole car? I would suspect lower bushes, if not the rotors - which can be eliminated by tapping the brakes at 90-100kmh. But yeah, if i was a betting man, i would go for lower bushes |

Check your tyres again sounds to me like a seperated tyre. Just jack up the front of the car and rotate the front tyre slowly, check the wear pattern on the tread area if its seperated you will see a patch that is more worn than the rest of the tyre. You may also see a bubble when looking side on but not always.

But yeah, if i was a betting man, i would go for lower bushes the vibration slowly goes away when you slow down but it will stay there for a bit...it feel like it comeing through the car but also the whole steering wheel shakes as well with it....so i can say both to that....

Mate for the sake of 30 minutes (it won't cost anything either) it would pay to have a look anyway or take the car to a tyre shop and tell them you think you have a seperated tyre and they will have a look for you.
