Steering wheel judder but not wheels out of balance

Can anyone advise me what to look for to replace to stop the steering wheel judder over 50 mph and on a motorway a tendency to wander which means constant slight steering adjustments, I have had the front tyres replaced and balanced and moved front wheels to back in case I have a buckled wheel but still the same any help would be appreciated , Thumbs Up

If you have odd tyre wear, for example signs of sideways scuffing across the tread, it may be your wheel bearings.

They're hard to check by normal means, but in my case once the bearing was off, it was obvious it was knackered.

New bearings and wobble went.

Wandering on a motorway is not unusual, blame poor quality road surface and ruts, especially in lane 1. RRS HSE Dynamic SDV6 2014

I’m hoping wishbone bushes will cure my similar issues, though mine manifest themselves with braking also at strange times namely downhill or on the motorway. Symptoms just like warped discs but they are brand new and brake smooth at low medium speeds.

I get no knocks, rattling or squeaks from the front suspension at all.

I’ll get and replace the bushes at some point but I’m recovering from a crushed middle finger on my right hand which precludes spanner work for the moment 😞 Steve

You have exactly the same symptoms as I did. I changed discs 1st then balancing etc. The bushes sorted all the issues
