Default HELP !! Again

Not another problem ?!

94 WRX Wagon Import, I have a bad vibration when driving, it feels likes it from the front driver side ? it can just start happening and then go again or it can get bad.

it gets worse when I then decelerate and once down to about 50ish it goes and I can then accelerate and it doesn't sometimes come back.

I drive to birmingham tonight and I could only slightly feel it, but I noticed the front driver side wheel did feel quite warm when I got home!!

Any ideas ?

Update on this vibration problem

when I got onto the M69 ans slowly accelerated the vibration started at 40ish and remained to about 60mph, when I steady to 70mph it slowly stopped. I am sure I could feel a slight vibration but not as bad as it had been.

Any ideas anyone.

It's had new tyres, tracking and wheel balance.

MOT Centre in Warwick, noticed that the Ball Joint Rubber/bush by the front of the drivers side front wheel was split. I noticed that there was grease all around it, also they commented on the Disc having a orange colour to it's edge due to heat.

Could it just be this ball joint rubber causing this ?
