well i think there's no point of wheel alignment.. if the wheel were badly aligned, then my steering wheel would shake.. but it doesn't.. so what could it be?

Do you feel it through the steering wheel? I had the vib too, not in the front, it turned out to be the toe control bushings were completely shot. I did the toe eliminator kit and it went away completely. Look into that too.

i get the same but only around 70mph and up
i got all the wheels balanced - still does it
swapped the fronts to backs and still does it
got it 4 way laser checked - still does it
went thru the MOT 3 weeks ago and didnt fail on anything
im in the same boat as you on this one
check the front wheel bearings though - only a 20 min job ( per side ) and its one more thing to tick off the possible list of problems

I get the same around 70mph. I used to get it at 65 and up, but after I got new shocks, it was greatly reduced to where it only does it a bit at 70mph. Im goin to do the toe eliminator and see if that fixes it. so check to see that your shock aren't blown out.
Otherwise im still in the "why does my car vibrate" club..

I'm just had that problem resently. go for a quick drive, and when you stop, see if there is any intense heat comming from any of the wheels. What happened to me is my front left brake caliper siezed. This caused the vibration. Just an idea, and it only takes 5 minutes to figure out.
