If it happens after hitting some rough road could be a damper/shock on the way out.

Might be worth checking the steering damper first.

Steering damper (as said above) but also check the ball joints and the swivel preload. Had that issue with a Range Rover Classic and found out it had been soldiering on with all of the above messed up...changed the handling no end when all was fixed/adjusted.

Panhard Rod
Drop Arm Ball Joint - If it is this replace it with the Disco conversion, no more ball joint
Steering Dampers shagged
Pre-Load/Wheel bearings

Wheel bearings caused the problem on mine

Don't forget the propshaft bearings. You can get all kinds of interesting vibration as they get loose. I can tell when my front needs doing because the steering wheel (and other things) start vibrating at 50 mph.

I was thinking about the UJs but the other ones are worth a wobble too.
