Could well be wishbones and/or camber out. Are your tyres wearing evenly?

they seem to be wearing evenly but when i put it in drive and let it creep you can feel the car slightly rocking and there seems to be a slight thud sound too

Mine has the shakes as well, although it is more pronounced at low speed. Similarly, I also get a very slight judder on the steering wheel from 40mph through to about 80mph and pulling to one side.

Mine is confirmed as down to worn lower arm (wishbone) bushes, not an uncommon fault according to honest john.
