Jamie1st Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 We had problems with my mates fiesta at one point, had the balancing done, checked lower arm bushes etc etc.Turned out that had tyre had lost its shape and had an egg shaped bit in it.New tyre and it's smooth as ote!

StuDoc 72 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 As above knackered tyre or wheel bud. Even a tyre on a wheel that is not balanced wouldnt cause serious wobble unless the wheel is buckled also. Mine was really bad for this. Got new alloys straight out the wrapper what a difference. If you have them spun on a wheel balancer you can easily spot the offender. If its only 1 or 2 of the wheels get them all balanced and stick the buckled ones on the back until you have money for new wheels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
