Just before i start ill explain that its a Ford Sierra :rolleyes: i had i slight steering wheel wobble so i swapped the wheels over (changed front for rears) and it was worse. So i thought sod it, get the tracking done and balancing.

Took it in the garage they said tracking was spot on but the wheel balancing was a mile out so the balanced them. Started off home and it was worse!
WHATS WRONG WITH IT? ANYONE HELP?

Very likely to be a wheel bearing. If you jack it up and grab the wheel, there may be excessive sideways play in it... ie it will clunk sideways.

If they were muppets and didn't spot it, they may have aligned the wheel in a funny position due to the bearing being shot, and exxagerated it...

Don't go too fast as I had one fail and it was a bit scary.

Just a thought.
