Default steering wheel wobble

i have a 1999 classic and just had full 4 wheel tracking and all 4 wheels balanced but the steering wheel still wobbles.

is this dew to the 4 wheel drive ???

i,m running toyo tyres and where not balanced right from new could this have mishaped the tyre.????

the garage said 2 wheels were nearly 100 grams out !!!!

or could the alloy wheel be past it and no matter how much balancing it will still wobble ?????

will new wheels and tyres solve this or is it me being fussy lol

you might have a buckled wheel but this should have been discovered by the garage when they balanced the wheels

I should take it back and get them to rebalance

i had "squared" wheels on a car once caused by curbing and no amount of weights cured it, new set were bought.

Theres not snow or ice in the wheel is there? othere than that take it back to the garage.

good luck

hi only does it at certan speeds

garage said the wheels where ok

i think its a flat spot on the fronts as they were 100grams out .

only had the car 2 mths and done it since i got it.

the garage is one of the best for tracking and balancing in peterborough

and the only one that does proper 4 wheel drive tracking too.

thing is there almost like new and toyos ain,t cheap either

Do they do proper geo set ups? Wanting to get mine done, not just the tracking but the lot. If they do can you let us know where?

Cheers!

Nice one, wondered if it was them. Normally get my tyres from there.
