BA wagon front end vibration

[beatle]

Geeday,
my BA has this nasty vibration that comes and goes.
its mainly at highway speed, but i found if i brake HARD it goes away for a while.
ive tried swapping rims to ones i know are in good balance and round, no change. done a visual and quick tape inspection and the alignment seems fine with no signs of damage to the suspension arms.

leaning towards a brake prblem, but i dont know a great deal about braking systems so not sure what to look for.
does anyone know if this is a common problem with the BA's or know anything i should look at.

cheers
mike

New rotors n pads are cheap ,replace them as BA was bad for brake shudder ..

[gav_wah]

either the rotors are out/warped or the fluid filled bush has burst and needs replacing check round the control arm and look for oil leak signs?

if your up wangara way pop into either TLT automotive or Airborne suspension as they have done this inspection many times and cant fault either of their work.
