Alignment and/or cv joint issues are leading causes. Engine and trans mounts can contribute.

The first is to assure tire condition and pressure are the cause.

Also check if lower control arm front bushing is shot. Bad wheel bearing may be a culprit too.

Sergio it happened all the time when on motorway , but not at low speed ,
I'll have a rummage around under the car today and get back to you with answers
When I bought the car all joints and batters where checked by myself and all is good , no movement on track ends , wheel bearings , cv joints , all good , steering rack no movement in that either
Thanks
