I assume the s/wheel is shimmying or wobbling, quickly left to right, also if you can accelerate through the shimmy then I would put my money on wheel balance, get them to recheck and road test it

The method that I used on any car was:: Fit the new s/wheel but only finger tighten the nut, go to a place that has a reasonable straight run where the car is not pulling to one side, once you are happy that the car is going straight and you are not ha...

OK whitey, only joking, :wink: :wink: the point I should have made was you don’t necessarily have to replace the whole thing, depends on the wear in the bushes etc, and it may only be a seal, I have seen many unscrupulous garages renew a complete unit when not required, even replacing both units as ...

I now have a blanket that I put over the roof before lowering it. It's a bit of a fag, but its working, no wear marks anywhere at the moment.
