I've got the ~~wobbles~~

[Welly]

I still think the balancing needs looking at, either that or there's a kinda 'soft spot' in the tyre structure

Then you're probably right - can you swap em all in turn for the spare?

The 'spare' is a Money-Saver so I can't really tazz along at 85mph to conduct my testing and it has never seen the light of day and remember I wanted to preserve this for the next generation (still has the sticker on the tyre tread ).

Progress has a habit of biting one's posterior.

It's a miracle there's a spare wheel at all, some have to make do with a 'can' and a small black box.

A can to calm the nerves and a black box to work out what happened.

Certainly needed a sharp whiskey on board when the plane got the wobbles at the weekend, bit breezy at the airport.

Again i refer to the 7 seater camping trip puncture that could happen.... I've always got a can or two in the boot (not stella mind) and i've always got some run flat just in case but if i needed to get to the spare i'd be fooked, it could mean a 22kg crazy sheep dog and all my camping gear loose on a dual carriageway.... think i'll go back to the caravan i can throw him in there if need be.

Welly, this sounds all to like my Focus.

I had a wheel wobble, must have had all four wheels balenced about 5 times.
Found play in the O/S Track rod, replaced it. Made it 90% better but not brilliant.

Turned out I had a nackered steering rack. Although it did only cost me £256 in the end.

[Welly]

What's the best way to check if the rack is knackered? never had one go before.

I'm getting fed up with it now Bailes, if the next round of balancing/alignment doesn't fix the issue then I'll be looking at driveshafts
