No mud stuck on the wheels and all wheels have their weights on.
May get some tyre balancing beads and give them a go!
Just a pain as i cant work out why it has happened all of a sudden

That does seem strange, I take it the wheels are tight and at the correct pressures...??? Other than that I'm as stumped as you mate...lol

Have you tried your king pin bearings/do your swivels have the correct resistence? the only other things I think it could be are panard rod bushes or steering damper. :cool:I run balance beeds in both my landies tyres and they are great! :afro:

 You could have lost a weight off the one wheel,  thereby throwing it out of balance.
 That would account for the vibration and the sudden occurance.
