Vibrator at 70mph - Land Rovers Only

Sorry girls, its not what you think

Ok, so here is a question about front end vibration.

At 70mph and above on flat ground i get a nice shaking vibration from the front end. It goes away, or at least diminishes, if i am going up a hill (under more load)

This is what i am going to look into:

U joints
Flex coupling
Tires
Alignment.

Anything i may have missed?

U-Joints, how long since they have been greased? Do you have a roto flex, if so, check it for cracks.

check tires and alignment. I had the same issue when I bought my Disco II, i had the dealership replace all my tires and all the vibration went away. then i had them do an alignment job and it then was really smooth
