Just bought myself an Ecos and I get a wobble through the steering wheel around 50mph. The wheels have been checked and balanced and the wobble is still there. I have been advised by a friend that the CV joints on the front may need replacing or possibly a bush has gone. I will be looking at this next week but wondered if there is anything else I should look out for.

Cheers

It's most probably the anti roll bar/track control arm bushes, if they need replacing, make sure you use poly bushes as the standard ones are pants.

I have the same problem, its not under braking. I checked all balancing as you did.

Check you power steering bottle level, mine has a strange problem of throwing the fluid out the top, I just left it, then the wobbling appeared. I topped it up and it stopped.

Do that....

let me know

 

I had the same problem and my standard front discs were warped causing the problem.

 

mine does it at to given up worrying about it

 

I'll double check the bushes. They have been uprated with polybush ones I think.

does it only do it when accelerating or all the time

 

All the time regardless at around 50mph.
