This might have been resolved, but my 2 cent:

Checked the inner CV joint? It can cause similar effects...
Are you sure that it is "fine" beyond 60, or could it be that the shaking back/forth is going so fast that it seems not to shake?

+1, likely to be discs

Thought i better update this lol

Since the last post, The car has had new wishbones, trackrod ends and top mounts and bearings....and although it fealt superb after having them fitted, i still got the shaking, but this time it was between 60-75mph...

Finally sorted it when i had my new tyres fitted last month, where the wheels were balanced with the bolt holes rather than the centre bore, and its all sorted, and feels fantastic, like a totally different car.

Apparently, this problem can affect aftermarket wheels with spiggot rings as they are not exactly centred in the rin, thus when a rim is balanced on a normal balance machine using the wheels centre bore, it gives a false reading.
