Does this wobble happen when you brake?

 

[maxrpm]

yeah seems once car driven a while not as bad and really bad at times when ya brake its weird times car fine times it shakes your hands tires pressures seem fine tried diff rims and the same but was same tires

 

[Diny]

Okay, try this:

Does it also happen when you engine brake (meaning you dont even touch the brake pedal)?

If it only happens with your brakes, sounds like rotors. If it happens all the time, then you may have a thrust arm bushing going out.

I've had wobbling but it went away once i got new rotors. Car would wobble only when I used the brakes, though.

How many miles on your car? I had a wobble like that and I had to change the thrust bushings and that took care of it.

When I first bought the car I had a shake that happened at all speeds... ended up all 4 of the rims were bent (not by me and a fairly long story...).

 

[maxrpm]

ya could be free wheeling and it would happen and wot is rotors car has 97k but not long through cat2 inspection which cost £2500 pound

 

[Diny]

Rotors are the brake discs.

 

[maxrpm]

keep thinking brake discs myself cos bad when cold,are they soild could i skim them

need more details mate.... is it a wobble through the steering, and only on braking gently, or though the pedal, or the whole car.....

if under gentle braking, and discs are not warped, could be residue on the discs...

Had a similar problem when I got my car. Turned out to be the front tyres. They looked fine to the naked eye, but they were out of round. New tyres solved the problem.

If you tracked the car, you may have some brake pad residue on the rotors?

 

[maxrpm]

could be tires cos it comes and goes dont have to br braking to get it

 

[mohan]

do you leave the car for long time periods on the drive/in garage... dunlop sp8800 were prone to flat spotting and this could be your explanation.

 

[m5rangeroverandzx10r]

idler arms ?
front suspension bushes/joints !
most bmw;s get it at some stage, well everyone ive had did !
usually something with play in it !

 

[Anjum]
