    Mystery Wobble

    Hi yes not been mentioned, but yep all good in that dept, general consensus was the UJ's. Given the condition of the UJ's I can't see it being the problem, no big deal just a bit of aggro for me to replace them another cold hour or so under the car tomorrow

    A very merry Christmas to all you experts out there, hope you had a good one. So having spent most of the day on my drive fitting new front brake gear I turned my attention to the UJ's in the hope of curing my wobble..... Just a couple of questions please. The front wheels are off the...

    Mystery Wobble
