Sorry to bump an old thread but have been trawling the forums over the same problem.

I get a steering wheel wobble from 60mph+ and just gets worse as I go faster, the whole car feels unstable and bit of a mess. Braking is fine so I don't think it's warped discs.

I expect it does it under 60mph too though it's harder to tell, pretty sure I could feel it vibrating slightly at 50 yesterday.

I got the tyres and wheels balanced and were told they were fine, vibration still there...

Then took them to The Wheel Specialist who said I had 1 buckled wheel and 2 others had flat spots. They fixed all the wheels and balanced them and on my way home it was still vibrating. Took it back to them yesterday and they took all the weights off and redid them and as expected, it still vibrates.

I'm taking it into a garage tomorrow to check tie rods, everything suspension/bush related but I'm not optimistic they'll find anything - It passed it's MOT last week so would have expected any poor bushes to have failed it.

Any other suggestions? Plenty of threads on this online but most have no outcome.
