Default Ford Ka Steering Wheel Shudder?

Only happens around 55 MPH onwards. Its annoying. Its booked into a garage for This coming Friday but would appreciate any help you guys could offer.

Shudder comes through the steering wheel. Not sure if its a bearing (no sound on wheel movement), ball joint (cant tell until its on ramp) Top mount (Common Fault so ive heard..) Top Bushes (Also Common Fault).

Anything else i should be thinking about?

Cheers.

i could also be that 1 of the tyres on the front is buckled, this would not be picked up on a wheel balance test, swap the wheels from the front to the rear and see if the prob shift to the rear of the car
