Default Steering wheel vibration help needed

I noticed some vibration through the steering wheel when braking from 70mph. No issues at lower speeds. Immediate thought was warped discs. Checked the fronts and they were pretty badly worn so changed them for apex standard discs with carbon pads from godspeed, checked the backs and the discs were shagged well and truly so changed these as well and fitted the godspeed pads. The pads seems to work fine and there's plenty of grip but I'm still having the vibration through the the steering wheel at the same speeds.
Can anyone point me in a direction next.
I've read a load of threads in the tech forum and the obvious culprits are
  • warped discs
  • Worn wheel bearing
  • Worn ball joint/s
  • Sticky piston
What should my next logical step be, has anyone had this expierience and what did ya do ?



Cheers
Taffy

Have your wheel balancing checked.

All discs/pads are new but the wheel balancing is a nice easy one to eliminte.......thanks, but surely I'd feel that vibration all the time not just under braking at higher speeds ?

Wheel bearing, track rod end and the CV Joint may all be worth a check.

Glad your back and hope your better.
