My suggestion is to start by getting the front end off the ground, weight off the wheels, and properly supported with jack stands. Check the lugnuts and steering and suspension components for signs of looseness.

Does the vibration track with the vehicle speed (ie: as the wheels slow down, so does the frequency of the vibration)? Is it any different between a left and right turn? Do you notice the vibration in the steering wheel, brake pedal, or vehicle body? What happens if you carefully shift to neutral when approaching a stop with the steering turned? There are a lot of different vibrations that could happen, the more detail you can provide the forum, the better chance it will ring a bell with someone.
