Steering Wheel Wobble - Not balance

Oct 19, 2003 5 Replies

Hi, What else would cause the steering wheel to oscillate - I can rule out wheel balance, since the problem persisted even after 4 new tyres, wheel balancing and tracking.



It is most evident up to 40 mph then disappears a bit and then returns at around 60.



The car is a Golf 3. TIA

I've got the same problem with my Focus. I've had the wheels balanced 3 times now but its still not right. I've got an MOT next week so I'll ask the tester to report any wear in the steering or front suspension.

Check: Drive shaft balance, anti roll bar, track control arms, wheel bearings. DaveK

Buckled wheel though i expect balancing to have picked this up no?
