    Severe Wobbling whilst driving... *URGENT*

    Okay! here goes...

    Got the clio on the road tonight and am having a bad wobbling coming from the front of the car.

    It cant be:

    Bent wheels - Tried another set,
    Bearings - Have been changed
    Wheel nuts - All tight

    I have widetracked the car, and is fitted with avo coilovers. Which as far as i am aware are all fitted sound.

    Driveshafts were bought from Cit-Ren brakers.

    I have fitted new track rod ends for the widetrack and the alignment/tracking is way out. Would this cause a kind of "skipping"... there is no banging, just a kind of skip when going round bends and when getting up speed/accellerating!!!

    Ideas anyone?

    Help appreciated!

    Sounds like it could be the inner cv joint on the o/s driveshaft.


    Mat.

    Left and right driveshaft imbalance would be my guess.

    Fit on you old driveshafts and see if the problem goes away.

    can't do that mate, it will knock and all sorts, will pull the shafts out too far
