Hi guys i have searched the forums but couldn't find anything close to my problem that i have.

The other night i was out, i was turning right at a set of lights and once i straightened up i gave it in first and once i put it in second something gave on the passenger side and instantly i could feel the front left side wobble and shake side to side, i stopped and checked the wheel and lower control arms, cv everything, it looked normal :/
So i had my friend outside my car and i was driving my car back and forth slowly and he didn't notice any wheel wobble but inside i could feel it.

The next day i took the wheel off and i was trying move my cv shaft around up and down to see if theirs any play but it felt fine nothings busted, so i had a look at all the bushes nothings wrong? i try shaking everything and everything is fine and looks normal?

I have no idea what it could be can anyone help me out?:(

thanks

the symptoms sound very similar to a wheel that is out of balance.
check on the inner side of your wheel to see if you are missing any weights if they are aftermarket wheels.
you should be able to tell if any are missing as the area will look cleaner than the rest of the inner wheel.

take it to a suspension specialist asap, this could snow ball into something bigger and endanger yourself but also innocent drivers.

Checked all that wieghts are still there nothing fell off

Good news

good news is found out it was the CV shaft, i was fed up of trying find out what it was so i went down to the local mechanic.
We went for a drive and under load front left wobbles but driving in neutral doesn't wobble, lifted it up on hoist the shaft had play in it just enough to be out of place.
So tomorrow morning have to take it out and take it to St peters to get fixed.
My cv's were replaced not long ago so didnt make much sense but owell hopefully this fixes it.

Thanks for everyone's help anyway

this happened to me when i dumped it in second it made that plate rattle noise and when accelerating with load or decel it would sometimes wobble my shifter and my calves would wobble. turned out to be my Toe end bushings were split.
i get it now n then again lately but thats becuase i broke the UCA bushings as well somehow must of been when i took them off my DC2 to put on my EG
