Front end wobble

Post by fonzooorooo »

Any ideas on the 1st place to look for the cause of a front end wobble? It's speed sensitive, coming in at 62MPH and above, but only when on power, on the overrun it's fine.

Presume it's bush related, so I suppose the query is really: After the console bushes, which are next to fail?

I changed the console bushes a couple of years ago.

Cheers.

The console bushes couldve failed again

It could be wheel balancing/top mounts.

I've changed 1 top mount recently when a spring broke. Didn't appear to be any issue with the other so I left well alone.
Wheels have been on for ages, issue free, so unlikely to be a balancing issue.

Not noticed any tyre wear issues. I'll have a poke around later, or during the week.
