Hi all,
With an imminent MOT looming and knowing that one of the ball joints was damaged on drivers side, I bought a replacement control arm (upper) and replaced said arm. Tapping noises and clunky steering much better.
However, at approx 45-55mph on a sweeping long left bend the car develops a severe vibration/wobble/oscillation when the driver side wheel is ‘loaded’ through the bend. Back up on the ramps and there is a fair amount of movement at the old control arm bush - so I changed it. Had the car tracking adjusted - same violent wobble at said speed?
Tried different wheels - no joy.
Any ideas?
