I'd get the bushes looked at first, have them really pry at them more than they would for MOT standard (which I'm told is a lot lower than a decent service standard). If they do need to be replaced, you'll need to get the front tracking realigned anyway.

For my money, the tracking is also the cause of the vibration at 75-80mph, I find that bad balance tends to be felt more like 60-65mph.
Thanks for that, I'm getting exactly the same symptoms on my 2008 C70, initially thought it was warped disc(s) but it only does it when braking from motorway speeds.
