Can anyone help?
I've had the 4 wheel geometry done and all the wheels balanced,but there is a slight vibration coming in at around 90 mph up to max speed.It isn't a typical wheels unbalanced vibe although i can feel it through the steering wheel very slightly and it seems to get a little bit worse as you go round corners on smooth motorway sections.
suggestions please.

unlikely to be wheels needing balancing cos by the time you're doing 90mph its evened out. trust me I know

The cars a 98MY with 26000mls surely the bearings should last longer than that,it hasn't been thrashed or tracked,a trip to my dealer me thinks.

ok, my views are, the rims, could be slightly bent or something. tyres, there could be a small lump due to premature wear. these 2 could be what's causing the problem...unless the tyre man didn't have the rims sit onto the hub evenly. is there a hub spacer for yr car?
