Have you checked wheel bolt torque, wheel bearing play, CVJ movement, warped disc (suggesting this in case it is a pad rubbing against it although I would expect vibration under braking), worn suspension bushes and showing under 'load' due to cornering?

Thanks for the reply.
All brakes new.
No clicking or any sign of the cv joints failing.
Not sure about the wheel nut's torque will check in the morning.
As for the rest the garage will have to look at.
