Your steering damper needs replacing

Re: wheel wobble

If you strongly feel the wobble transmit to your steering wheel then at the speeds you have indicated; as Gordon has mentioned it is your steering wheel damper that needs replacement. 

There are two types available, a standard and a heavy duty one. My suggestion is to go for the Heavy duty one. It is twice the price or so but lasts longer.

Re: wheel wobble

The description you give is classic steering damper failure, aren't there some cheaper options using LR Disco steering dampers than standard fitment items?? Easy to swap them over for a DIY mechanic too
