Sounds bizarre but the vibration issue I had through steering at that speed was resolved with new rear discs.

San't see that resolving your "loose" steering though.

My pads are squeaking pretty bad and one mechanic said that my rotors had developed a lip - but, like you said, I don't know how that would impact steering, and I don't get any vibration solely from hitting the brakes.

I am with these guys on the bent rim, it might not show up on the balancing machines.

If not the rim the brake disk could cause some vibration if it got out of round or balance.

If you can't see a problem with the bare wheel spinning on a balancer the wheel is not the cause of the problem.

Would either of these also explain the loose steering? I've had the rim checked by a few different places, so I hope they would have eliminated that. Could the bearing cause any of these issues?

What would be the best way to get this checked?
