   I was going to mention tracking but if that's been done then id say a part of your suspension has failed maybe? When you jack the car up is there any free play if you try and wobble the wheel?

	swap the tires around (diagonally) and see if it still happens you may oh lost a wheel wieght unless thay ballanced all 4 tires A warped disc will vibrate under braking

	Most common issue for the steering wheel tremble is brakes or wheels... If your discs are ok, check your wheels.. you can swap the wheels (just check for the tyre rotation) and see what happens! It took me 3 times to find out for a wounded rim that looked ok, on the previous 2 tyre shops... Squeaky brakes could be from the slight corrosion, taking place at the discs surface (from the nights humidity or so). you can slightly file the pads edge, before installing them.

	touch wood as im typing this but this is a small essay, i had the wheel wobble on steel wheels and as i had to have some new tyres i decided to buy a second hand pair of alloys with tyres ( as well as eliminating possible bent rim ), the tyres good nick, had them balanced and tracked last thursday and still had the wobble, took my car back to the garage and had them redo the balancing and tracking and found out the fronts hadent been done correctly and the tracking was well out no suprise i had a wobble, according to the garage the wrongs weights had been used, now all done and seems fine a drives upto 70+ mph with only a small amount of vibration which im assuming is normal as driving at high speed, i just dont hope it doesnt come back now ive wrote this. hope this helps any1 who is having a simler problem, make sure the garage use correct weights for the wheel and place correct weight on the wheel, thats seemed to be the problem i had also tracking!
