Check tyre presure's, are the wheels balanced? Do you have any tyres that are wearing on the inside or outside? Are any of your wheels buckled or out of shape? Check these first it's all trail and error. Discs warped?

Is the vibration coming through the steering wheel during driving, or only when braking?

Go for wheel balancing first, and it's cheap enough too.
Take it from there .......

from the same experience....

shaking while driving = wheel balancing

shaking while braking = tracking

the best way to get your wheels balanced is to find somewhere where they balance with the wheels still on the car....this is done on a sort of rolling road, a bit like the rollers at the MOT station....

get your wheels lazer tracked

well worth the extra money.....feels like a totally different car....

if your discs were warped the brake pedal would feel like it was going up and down as you brake....and steering wheel wobble would be mental...!
