You have mentioned vibration rather than wobble or shake so the following may not be useful.
GQ shake is common and there's lots of discussion across the net about various problems and solutions. Some solutions turn to panhard rod being replaced/repaired. Lifted
suspension seems to exaggerate the problem.
GQ's are apparently sensitive to balance of wheels and many people get on-car balance done - I tried this with a replacement set of wheels and it worked
well for me.
My original problem turned out to be near-new tyres being out of round. But I reckon the on-car balance with replacement wheels was better than the off-car balance that I have had done since.
Good luck
