Default Another thread about steering shaking

Hi all,
At 50mph, my steering has minor noticeable vibrations, but it's not as bad at 70mph.

Before I noticed this, I had warped discs due to a sticky calliper, so the car had a panic attack when braking. I've solved this issue by replacing the discs and cleaning the calliper.

What I've done:
  • Wheels balanced. They were off, but now patched.
  • The wheels are confirmed not to be buckled.
What I'm going to do:
  • Book me in with the Jag specialist. If he identifies an issue other than the low-control arms, then great, I'll fix it. If not, then
  • Replace the two front lower control arms (banana arms).
Why I'm fixing this now:
  • I'm going on a European road trip and this micro vibration will run me wild. I set off on Saturday and need this patched on Friday.
Do you have other ideas that I can look at/parts to order so they arrive in time to be fit?

Add above list cleaning the Wheel hub - Brakedisk - Wheel contact surfaces. (you have new brakedisks, so focus wheel and hub surfaces)
x351 are also very sensitive for aligment.

I would take it some other shop and have them test the road force
