steering wheel wobble/shake/vibration

[mat_106]

hello all need a bit of help again, i bought some standard cupra wheels and fitted them. since doing that ive noticed a really bad wobble/shake/vibration coming from the steering wheel. it does it more when i accelorate and also it pulls quite a bit to the left. i think it did it with my other wheels not as bad though? (others was 17inch these are 16inch)

ive had the front two balanced up and it made it slightly better but still does it?

could it be the tracking that is doing it? my trackin is slightly out as the steering wheel is like at 5 past / 10 past. just wanted some info as dont want to spend 40 quid for tracking if it wont sort it as im low on cash at the mo.

any help would be grate cheers

ive got the same problem on mine and spoke 2 my uncle who's a mechanic.
he said to me that yes it could either b the tracking, or it may be that the brake disks are warped. i only get the problem when slowing from motorway speeds and breaking hard. the steering wheel vibrates hellishly!

dont know if this helps mate

The only way is to swap them over with another pair, I'm in the process of doing this on mine (process of elimination I'm afraid)...
