Hi mate,
if you are sure the brakes are all fine and you have this vibration coming from the front of the car, then you ought to be looking at the front track control arm bushes or bottom ball joints. If these ok then check track rod ends for wear.

I reckon it might be the bottom arms bushes. mine were fooked quite somet ime ago and had the problem. Changed the bottom arms and bushes and the problem dissapeared.
