Default slight vibration steering wheel

Since a couple of months I've noticed a slight vibration in the steering Wheel. (the vibration increase when I go faster) -__-
I've took the car back to get the Wheels balanced, no change
I've told my tires dealer to check the rims for a bent or anything, but nothing
I even changed tires but no change, still feel that anoying vibration.

I'm starting to think it's because I changed the front upper control arm on only the right side, although I checked the left one and it was fine. now I'm like I will have to lift up the car again and check everythings out, like is it the lower control arm, the tie rod etc ??

Did anyone of you already experienced this kind of steering vibration ?

Brake rotors can cause that as well. If you buy new ones, make sure they are balanced. They balance them by grinding small amounts of metal off the edges.

Quaility rotors are balanced from the factory, but cheap discs are not.

I had a similar problem but 3 of my tires and wheels were bad. Got all 3 replaced. Vibration never occurred again.

I'd say the vast majority of Jag owners would have it based on wheel/tire issues since our wheels are so soft.
