Hi, my disco Td5 auto shakes the steering wheel when braking at speed quite violently.And when driving slowly I noticed the front of the car moves left to right like a buckled wheel?.The discs have been changed and anti roll bar Iam at a loss now help Pete
 
Did you check the calipers when changing the discs?
I had same symptoms and changed calipers and discs, because the calipers seize and cause the disc issues.
Can get some sensation if rear brakes poor too.
If nothing to do with brakes then its got to be bushing, track rod ends or ball joints or even steering damper.
You should be able to test relatively easily for bushing or track rod end wear/failure but the ball joints probably not so easy.
Just a thought but are you certain you don't have a damaged tyre or wheel?

Jack up and hold top and bottom of wheel and try to push top and pull bottom and then pull top and push bottom in quick succession a few times.
You will feel a movement and possibly hear it. You can do the same at 9:15 position but this may detect track rod issue rather than hub bearing.
Best having someone to assist.
