i think its most likely a knackered hub, thats my personal opinion.



went out last night with my mates and one of them told me my front passenger wheel was wobbling.



so this morning in true trouble shooting fashion i went out and swapped the two wheels over back to front etc. but this didn't cure anything.



the front wheel still wobbles. am also getting clattering noises from the brakes, does not make very nice noise when i go to brake.



jacked the car up and wobbled the wheel to see if there was any play. there wasn't.



now totally mistified.



HELP ME!!

the wheel is wobbling.....but it isnt <img src= "smileys/fcuk.gif">



when i read the thread heading i thought it was going to be the wheel bearings but if you jack the car up and try to wobble the wheel and it doesnt move then im stumped



as for the brakes sounds like it could be a warped disk

take it back to them and say you suspect its that again that way they will look at it for free and possibly discover the problem
