Hi guys. Have a problem with steering wheel wobble on the motorway. At 70mph I had quite bad wheel wobble and it gets worse depending on the angle of the wheel. Like if going round a slight bend. It gets worse at speeds over 70mph.

So far I've had new tyres fitted. Wheel alignment done. New front shocks and springs. Still no improvement.



Any ideas what. I could check next? Was thinking bushes? Also pulls a tiny bit to the right not much but enough to notice

70 mph !! Speeds I can only dream of in my LT ...

Wheel bearings - worn or need adjustment ?

I'm assuming a wheel not running true would have been picked up when you had the tyres done ?

Ball joints worn ?

These problems can be frustrating as it's often a case of ruling things out one by one and I've found it's the last one I do that solves the problem

Hope you get it sorted

Steering rack bushes?

I'd get the wheels rebalanced if everything else is good.
