Default STEERING WHEEL SHAKING!!!!!!!

MY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES LIKE MAD. THE WHEEL SHAKES AND VIBRATES.
WHEN DOING UNDER 50 ITS FINE. BETWEEN 50-60 ITS AWFUL AND ABOVE 60 ITS NOT MUCH BETTER.

I'VE HAD THE WHEELS BALANCED. WHAT ELSE?

There is a small rubber washer in the steering rack, might be that that's worn

Sticky caliper? Does one of the wheels get exceptionally hot?

I'd go for discs as well, plus check the condition of all the front end bushes cos if they're shagged as well that won't help.

Is it when braking only or when cruising?

Does it stop when you depress the clutch?

Where did you get the wheels balanced? [If its Kwik-Fit] or the like go and get them done again some where else

Has the car been stood on the tyres for a long time?

Are any of the wheels buckled?
