I would guess that your wheels need balancing. Or it could be one of the wheel bearings is going.

ive taken the wheel off and tightened all the nuts. i have opened the bonnet and where the strut comes through the round rubber ring is very loose compared to the other?could this be the cause? how do you tighten it back up?

put a 21mm ring spanner on the nut and then insert an allenkey into the top of the strut and hold this still whilst tightening the nut mate. This stops the strut shaft spinning as you tighten.
