Front end vibration

Need a few more details...what year car, what engine? Automatic or stick?
Does it do it under acceleration or all the time? Discs or drums?
Besides look for something loose what else have you done to find it? Has it done it long? Did it start right after some work was done, if so - what?
Did it come on slowly or all at once?
Are the steering rack bolts tight? How about where the steering shaft bolts to the rack?
Are your lugnuts tight?

agree
WAY too little information to make any recommendations . . . .
My 2 cents
I have a 79 fitted with Cooper S disk brakes. I have 10x6 wheels. The front end can seem damn loose from tramlining . . . .

Have a lot more questions
cars a 79. Standard 1000, 10" tires. recently put on road, Novice mini owner. Always had a shimmy in steering. Hit a bump in road, car darts one way or the other. Seems I have a dead spot in steering(common?), going to replace rack(have new) wondering if its more than just that? most common issue with the front suspension on these cars? lug nuts tight. Thanks Carl

look into just how many 'adjustments' are available in the classic Mini front end for that alignment place to tweek {not that a Classic Mini would be in their machine}. . . .
If the suspension is stock ...... there is ONE. TOE
beyond that means replacing parts ...
or correct me . . . .
