    Wheel Wobble

    I've got a long term Wheel wobble on My Disco 2 V8.

    It's on it's third wheel balance, has had an alignment, and the wobble come in at 80K.

    Just wondering where I should look for fresh trouble first?

    It's got a brand new front prop shaft with new bolts.

    Has no flex in the swivel pins.

    Maybe the tie rod ends but she's pretty tight in the steering?

    Have done a wheel rotation and no joy!

    Suggestions welcome.

    Ian

    Have you checked the ball joints?

    Warped rotors can cause wobble both under braking and whilst driving, just a thought.

    Hi
    Try looking at all the front bushes - steering dampener -pan-hard rod etc,
    Ive had the same problems to yours and found out it was the wheel rims causing the problem,
    I had the rims changed to Sunraysia quite some time ago [approx 5 years] over the last month or so the problem started so hence we changed and checked the bushes-dampener etc etc,
    all of it helped but didn't take it away completely, Anyway it was time for a new set of tyres so I refitted the original steel wheels whilst we sent away the Sunraysia Rims.
    as soon as we went down the road you could feel the difference got it up to speed and No more problems, wobble had gone along with the vibration that was felt on your feet and in the base of the seat,
    Hope this you in some way and good luck,

    When they do the wheel balance do they cone from the front or are they using flange plates to balance them which is how ALL wheels should be doon like....
