ZT vibration when driving on motorway

Hi, I have a slightly odd thing happening with my ZT .. some sort of wobble/vibration happening at speed (about 60-70) on a motorway .. it comes and goes.. seems to start happening when going round a right hand bend at motorway speed.. then when back on a straight gradually goes off. So it seems like something may be imbalanced or loose. But it's recently passed it's MOT and nothing was spotted and it's done this now and again before the mot. But last night happened so bad that i thought i was going to have to pull over as it felt like a wheel might be about to fall off.. but then a few seconds later it just stopped..

It's not like an imbalanced wheel .. well certainly not like when a front wheel is imbalanced where you feel it through the steering. And when a wheel is imbalanced it tends to always do the wobble at the same speeds. Maybe something happening at the rear wheels.. i was thinking could it even be to do with the brakes ?

Has anyone had something like this before? .. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.
