Post by python9 on Sep 24^th, 2009, 11:42pm

Well you have eliminated a wheel fault as you have tried the spare. I agree with Matt & would start looking at bushes providing you can definatly rule out a wheel bearing. is it a wobble or more of a "shimmy" ( side to side with each revolution of the wheel which dissapears around 40mph) ?. Possible that you might have a warped brake disc also. Keep us posted ;)

i would feel it if was a warped disk and it does disappear after 35-40 mph front disks and pads were done last month when i did a full service

yeah mate, these can go soft, normal sign of a failing one is creaking over bumps or when the front is pushed down
