Default steering wheel vibrations

Ok when I brake in my eg from any speed, but it is more noticable from highway speed the dyeing wheel will vibrate I know its not warped rotors either because there is absolutely no vibration in the brake pedal.

I am almost positive it is a worn bushing but iam not sure which one it is.

Any help is appreciated

if it is a bushing you need to take off both wheels & check out every bushing you can see, sometimes a bushing can be completely gone and you won't even know a bushing goes there so check both sides of the front to compare.

Why do you automatically assume that it is not warped rotors? It can cause significant vibration at the steering wheel as well. My bet is the warped rotors as it is the easiest to check.

I would also say it's a warped rotor. They have to be really bad before you feel it in the brake pedal.
