Hello everyone,

so i have recently started my car after a few months of it sitting in the garage, i wanted to take it for a test drive to see what it feels like again but as i was driving down the road the steering wheel and the wheels started to wobble like pizza.... =/ the bolts are on properly, I'm thinking it is the suspension but I'm not an expert at all... please help or give any suggestions will be greatful.

doanh.

sounds very unusual mate...

I would ensure the nuts are tight (i know you said you did, but did you have them off at any stage? jack the car up and tighten again, it will be hard to tell if its on the floor if the nuts are just a bit loose)

Failing this, take it straight to a wheel alignment place or mechnic and tell them whats wrong

was the wobbling happenning under brakes? acceleration? over run?

wobbling was happening during acceleration and reversing =( they are fine when breaking.. yeah trying to find out with the wheel alignment now thanks guys/girls

[edit] there is 3 wheels that wobble both the front and the passengers rear the drivers rear seems to be fine thanks

Try jacking the car up and rattling the wheels towards you back and forth.. if there is some play could be your wheel bearings etc

check if the weights on your wheels have fallen off. might just need wheel balance

Wheel alignment and tyre pressure will fix that mate! :) Possibly even a wheel balance.

Shouldnt cost you more than 100 bucks
