I had the same issue until I got some great advice on this topic:

1) set a metronome to a slowish tempo 70-90 bpm

2) practice your vibrato as a set of mini bends in time with the metronome and make sure you are aware of the note values you are following.

EX. vibrato in eight notes at 90 bpm 4/4 = 2 mini bends per metronome tick
EX. vibrato in eight note triplets at 90 bpm 4/4 = 3 mini bends per click
EX. vibrato in sixteenth notes at 90 bpm 4/4 = 4 mini bends per click

keep these mini bends as evenly spaced as possible.. It helps to record yourself and listen back to what you have done :)
