If it feels wobbly, jack the car up and spin the wheel. See if the wheel is buckled or the tyre is distorted. Either that, or get a mate to follow you at low speed and watch the wheel.

Cheers, give that a shot, waiting till the weather gets better or the rain stops.

Could this also be a cause of a worn bush of some sort. The whole suspension been changed quite recenty and the problem was there before that.

Something like that could put stress on another component, but I wouldn't like to guess.

just popped for a quick check, started p155in again,
So far i checked the nuts and they tight. Ive tried shakking the wheel but it firm, tried spinning it but it spins for a second then stops.

When a new suspension is fitted is it recommned to get tracking done?

You need to look at it from the back when you spin it....

figured it out, left your finger print behind

You really need to view the rotating wheel from behind.

Thats gona be hard, to spot, the front disc dont allow the wheel to spin that freely,

What if i swop the front wheel with the back?

Hi,
Worth checking your front antiroll bar bushes are not worn? this causes noises when going over bumps.

any alterations to suspension should require a tracking check, even pot holes can put your tracking out!!!

Just had it took to my local garage, he jacked it, and checked he said it seems fine. Next job is to get the wheel balanced checked and then have the laser tracking done.
Glad its nothing serious
