Avensis vibration

[weeleyboy]

My 09 Avensis petrol CVT with 50k on the clock seems to vibrate at low speed-it's a low level feedback through the steering wheel which is more noticeable when cornering.  I don't recall it doing this in the past and wonder what may be causing this, any suggestions welcome.

Could it be tyres out of balance or warped wheels?  Does the vibration vary depending on road speed or engine revs etc?

HI, it is only noticeable at low speeds ie up to about 25 mph and seems to increase if going round a roundabout. Tyres are relatively new and balanced when fitted. More noticeable on smooth road surface.

Check all your wheel nuts are tightened sufficiently.

Hi I would look at wheel bearings / brake disc back plates and get your wheels balanced in any order you feel is the quickest fix .

Hi 

Had something like that before , turned out to be a warped brake disc , had to replace disc , did both front ones together.

That sounds more feasible than some others - wheel nuts are tight but unable to check wheel bearings which surely would be a constant noise if worn.
