Default TIA..Is it possible that warped rotors could make your steering vibrate..
even when not braking?

Under braking my steering vibrates like mad, the faster I go, the worse it gets.

It also vibrates subtly without brake application.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Default Sounds like more than warped rotors
"warped rotors" usually just means pad material asymmetrically distributed on the rotor - way too small to have any effect except under braking

Rims out of balance? Rim bent? Tie rod end? Bushings.

This happened in my car also, especially if the brakes were warmed up. Replaced rotors, all good.

Default Odd
Are you sure it's vibrating without braking? Other than that it could definately be warped rotors.

You may want to check your lugnuts too.
