I get a vibration through the steering wheel at 80mph or so - it does vary sometimes in intensity. I also get it under moderate to hard braking from, say, 60-70mph. I've had the wheels balanced, but no improvement - the car's done 29K miles.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've heard something about thrust washers on the front suspension wishbone bushes, and that they are an easy DIY job - what does this involve?

Add to that ball joints, steering rack, track rod ends, bent suspension arms, rubbing wheels, flat spotted tyres...

Worth checking out all this before spending any money.
