I've done this a few times on mine Adam. Exactly the same symptoms you describe.
If you have a Bentley the procedure is in the Front Axle section.

If the upper torsion arms need
adjusting, you can usually feel that with the
weight on the wheels. Pull the top of the tyre
strongly outwards and then
push it back. If there's obvious movement, it can
usually be adjusted out,
but you may need to check the bar is properly held by the
locating screw in
the dimple.
If that's all OK, is the steering damper bush OK? That
can be the problem
too, and of course, it's possible the damper has leaked its
oil.

Crew,
I have a case of the violent shakes when making right turns
and hitting
uneven pavement. Steering stabilizer changed out in
November. I jacked up
the car and pulled on both wheels looking for obvious play
both laterality
and vertically. I did not find anything unusual.
I do remember something about tightening the torsion
arms..... If someone
could remind me of that process. I did drop the front one
outer spline in
November about the time I did the steering stabilizer. I am
mainly looking
for the places that I start when it comes to the shakes.
This is a recent problem that came on in the last couple of
weeks.
Adam
