Severe wobble when driving at any speed, had the wheel balanced and they are ok but it feels like the steering wheel is going tocome off in my hand. Also delayed reaction through the steering.

Any ideas !!!

Get the car up on axle stands or a ramp somewhere. Sounds as if something like a track control arm may have broken or come adrift if it is happening at all speeds. Have a good poke around with a torch, any problems will become immediately apparent.

I think you'll find the answer to you problem on the

Hi m8, if your Severe wobble is coming from the front end ,then it is more likely to be your upper & lower thrust arms.
