Default Shaking front end

Saph cossie 4x4

Ive got a shake between 80-95 and when cornering left over about 60. At first i thought it was a unbalanced wheel or a buldge in the tyre so took the wheel off to have it rebalanced and its all fine.

The issue wasnt there before i took the car off the road about a month ago to do the sump seal. the only things that were touched would be the crossmember and engine mounts. Could it be something to do with them ?

Cheers

First thing I'd do is get back under there and do a quick check with a socket that all crossmember and engine mount bolts are tight. If that's ok, I'd check the ball joint in the track control arm for play, then I'd check for play in the wheel bearings.
