I’ve got a nasty little vibration when steering left at high speeds above 35mph(more prominent around 40/50mph. The vibration is very similar to driving over those reflector things on the hard shoulder or the green lane separators on smart motorway. Had wheel alignment done 2 days ago and started noticing it straight away but garage denying its got anythin to do with them. I’ve balanced 2 front wheels at halfords and 2 others were recently balanced last month as I had tyre replacement done. Any independent audi specialist near Harrow/Northwest london want to help me with this? Any advice appreciated
Thanks

Could be ball joints or cv joints. Without looking at it it’s hard to tell.

Yes swapped front and back twice and side to side once, makes no difference.

I had a weird problem like that on a different car. Turned out to be a bit of body work/trim/mug guard touching the tire when it was turned in one direction. Difficult to find as the offending errant piece only 'popped out' under the inertia of turning in one direction!

Check nothing loose/in the wrong position etc in the wheel arch...

That was one of the first thing I looked for as well but there’s nothing from what i can see and theres no scraping on any side of the wheel arch trims so I ruled that out.
Feel like I covered as much as i can and only way is to get professional involved tbh
