For vibration, like you describe, I'd be suspicious of an out of round tyre first. I'd try swapping front/rear on each side, or if you are due for a balance, ask them to check the tyres for 'roundness'.



Next suspect would be a front wheel bearing going out.
Vibration is probably the wrong word, it's more of a rattling and it absolutely feels like it's in the steering arm, BUT could be a bearing in the wheel for sure, I've arranged a pre purchase inspection and asked them specifically to inspect the rattle,
