Check tire condition, looking especially for cupping (bad shock). Jack the front wheels up and check for loose ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. Just a visual check of the boots won't necessarily tell you if they are loose.

Control arm bushings can be bad too, but the usualy cause of such vibration is either a bad tire or a bad shock -- bent rim will also cause vibration, but it won't be intermittant...

Warped rotor and/or sticking caliper will do this too.
