just did a search and found out it could be a uj ???

tell the story 1st ...
crash car !! damaged wheel !! put spare on less treat the other front wheel.

one evening had to pick bro up from donny !! went down A63 hit 55 and the car pretty much started to jump it was quite violent and as it was the 1st time experenced it, it was scary !!!

pulled over checked my nuts and the cars

ok !!! wheels that is

i then change the orginal tyre as i had it back on a new rim not balanced tho !!! but it stopped it !!!

now gone 2 weeks or more it was when the man u vs man city game was on

it has started to come back i noticed it on saturday with a little virbation
and now its starting to get worse !!!

any info would be great and have my mot in the morning :doh:

cheers

if its a UJ I wouldn't have thought that changing wheels around would make any difference

yes it would..........how hard did you ding it?

When I got my 2a it must have taken a good whack on the front wheel because the drive flange was bent.....the wheel ran fairly true but the stub axle and inner bearing were shot.

I only found out when I was fitting a new swivel seal...........the day before the MOT :doh:

I'd stick it through the mot and if nothing shows up get the wheel balanced and take it from there. Good luck

Update guys

Failed MOT but bearings were ok !! I have now had the wheels balanced and they wer out !!
Help on a straight flat road but on a country road with a few bumps not big ones if does it again so I'm asumming that the new steering damper is faulty ??

Would that's what u guys think ??

I would try the steering damper as we had a 200tdi that when you got up to about 45 -50mph it would shake till you slowed down, tried alsorts then changed to a heavy duty de carbon steering damper and all was fine again.
