minor wobble on Rover 420

I have a Rover 420 sdi low milage 53000 and have a minor steering wheel wobble at low speed, anyone have any idea what problem would be ? thanks for any help


Front tyre not 'bulged' and correct pressures? Front wheel or axle buckled - hit a kerb lately? errrrr......

Have the tyres checked and the wheels balanced. Maybe tracking too.

Potholes in the road, bumping up and down kerbs and other 'knocks' can be the cause.

Get the balancing checked on your front wheels, but whilst they're spinning the balancer, watch the tread-surface of the tyre. It can bob up and down even if the balancer shows the wheel is balanced. Many tyre fitters won't notice it. If that's the case get a new tyre fitted, maybe it's a manufacture defect.
