What rims do you have, it could simply be that there is sand clump/s sitting on the inside of your rim, thus making the rim unbalanced and making the car vibrate.
Could give the car a burst with a pressure hose around the shocks, behind wheels and clean it all. Can only help.

Do you still have some sand on the inside of the rim,sometimes it will stick there.

No sand,when i got home gave it a good wash, it vibrate's alot it makes the steering wheel shake, it was a slow drive home

sounds like ballance as others have said
check lower ball joints
