I had severe wobble recently, and a sticking caliper was at fault, as per Pat's problem.

I'd say its a sticking caliper, had the same prob about 6 months ago, got so bad i thought the wheel was about to part company from the car!
Also does the wheel feel/smell hot, thats another trace of skicking brakes!

My wobble wasn't apparent under 30mph it was only above that you could feel it.

Agree with what jomo said I was 25miles from home when it got really bad so had to crawl home but still cooked the wheel and burnt the paint on the alloy

The wobble is very very slight about 40-60 mph. No smells. Dosn't happen before or during breaking.
I've had my rear wheels balanced today do will see how it feels in the morning. cheers Smile
