Most probably it be your spacers mate...I've had the same problem before,changed to hubcentric spacers & no steering vibration afterwards

cheers for reply Dan. The St spacers I bought were from awesome Gti and are specific to the 57.1 bore of wheel hub, I had universal ones on before and vibration was much worse. what size and make were your hubcentric spacers ?? I also put 3mm longer wheel bolts on with new spacers.

Did you fit the spacers the right way around? With the flat surface facing outwards and the bit that looks like it's been countersunk facing in towards the hub? I but some on wrong once and it vibrated.

Mate with a 3mm spacer the wheel should still sit on the hub you checked the balancing at all?
