violent wheel wobel

[lee_capri]

i have a vilent wheel woble,its if i have curbed the car but i hav'nt,

only does it when turning right,looked at the lower swing arm looks o.k. and the track rod end also o.k.,checked wheel bearing that o.k. to cant put my finger on it any-ideas what might be causeing it

out of balance wheel? ...a weight might of fallen off.

[lee_capri]

ive changed the wheel and its the same

jack it up then spin by hand.

 

the hub bearing might have gone

[lee_capri]

did notice that the sping was not sat in top plate all the way to the bit that holds it tight but my springs ahve been cut and its always been that way on it,the wheel wobel is some thing new

I had similar to this. Going round corners and braking at speed. Found it to be a worn ball joint on the TCA.

 

Replaced this and now a lot better. Still not 100% under braking, hence my new post.

Rack mounts?

get under the car on the ground and with someone wiggleing the wheel. put your hand on the steering components and suspension conponents and feel for movement

Good luck finding the prob, hope its not too costly m8

try turning the wheel out and then kicking the tyre on the tread.if the wheel moves back then its the antiroll bar bushes on the track contrl arm.sound like the common capri escort sierra fault.
