Side walls are all good they are coming to the limit on tread tho.

Are the tyres marked with a rotation arrow, and if so is it pointing the right way?

no. the spacer setup that you drew on some thread. 20mm bolted to another 20mm spacer. But if youve changed it than your bearings are fooked..!
#10: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Fri May 31, 2013 4:29 am ---- That drawing was the rear and thats been sorted now.
On the front has always been 20MM plus there is no play in the wheel

Just jack it up, no need to put it in gear, take wheel off, turn the wheel do the calipers pointing inward and spin the disc so you can see the edge and check if there's and side to side movement.

Na wouldn't cause wheel wobble. Have you checked the bolts are all done up correct lengths etc. I've had problems in the past with after market wheels and spacers where bolts have been a tad to long, you think you've tightened them up but it's that tiny bit thats causing you to have wheel wobble.

#19: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: RedHDI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Fri May 31, 2013 5:17 am ---- Just the front. My cars drum brakes at the rear so I dont need them done do I?
#20: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri May 31, 2013 5:44 am ---- Just to clarify, is this an actual visible wobble on the wheel or just something you can feel through the steering wheel, like a vibration?

See the wheel wobble y?
cheers
#22: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri May 31, 2013 6:00 am ---- If you can see it, then something is either loose or bent. Narrows the possible causes down.
#23: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Fri May 31, 2013 6:05 am ---- When I say wheel i mean steering wheel.

#25: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: 14hdi, Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 8:30 am ---- The drive shafts could be the cause as when people replace the boot they use a huge hose clip which sends it off balance due to the big lump on one side. If it does have hose clips put a proper drive shaft boot tie on or stainless cable tie, a regular cable tie should do it if you haven't got any metal ones.
#26: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: RedHDI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Fri May 31, 2013 1:38 pm ---- Getting tracking done tomorrow zack as the car was too low to go on the ramp

#29: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 11:13 am ---- Had this problem, after suspecting out-of-balance wheels / warped brake disk / wheel bearing, this forum helped to identify the cause: it was a buckled/warped wheel hub (the symptom was: strong steering wheel vibration when braking at high speeds).
#30: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 12:32 pm ---- Thanks for this should I change discs aswell then?
Cheers
#31: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 1:23 pm ---- First run the tests, before starting throwing any money in changing parts at random
#32: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Zack, Location: NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 3:55 pm ---- Ok thank you so much for the videos
#33: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 5:02 pm ---- No probs mate, I know how you feel
I wanted to change the world to bring my car roadworthy/comfy to drive asap But inspecting and ruling out causes does save money and nerves (takes more time though, than just dropping off at the garage)

I had exactly the same problem, initially thought it was the discs but when I fitted the new ones and checked for run out it was still there. So I took them off and checked the run out of the hub, it was awful. I've never had a car before when the hub has buckled. A new ( £10 scrappy) hub solved it all.
#35: Re: Wheel Wobble Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 6:12 am ---- I tried new brake disks but did not have the dial indicator..
So the car with new brake disks does not shake for couple of weeks, until they go out of balance! That's how the previous owner sold me the car... and it cost cheap
