Wheel Balancing?

fcnetcrash · Oct 12, 2007

Does any one know if this is purley down to wheel balancing? Basically when I get upto around 50 - 60mph and floor it I get a wobble on the steering and it shacks the cab up. If i let off the power it goes back to smooth. Doesnt do it at slow speeds though.

Its a 1999 2.0 XeDi Freelander S-Wagen and its in warrenty for the next three months so if its anything bad I can take it back.

Cheers for any help.

Does sound to me like wheels out of balance. Also a cheap place to start.

Hi thanks for the replies,

What am I looking at if its the drive shafts?

Im having someone look at it this week to confirm it but does this sound like one of thoughs "Cheaper to scrap it" jobs?

Cheers
