Steering wheel wobble
I have a really bad wheel wobble between 60 and 70 mph, Ive fitted a new set of alloys but it still does it at the exact same speed. Any ideas?

It's not just that, but
IF the problem is warped discs etc they are just going to warp again

I had a problem like this and changed everything on the front end only to find out that it was the tolerance bush behind the steering wheel little tiny plastic bush that cost less than a £1 from Fords worth changing the bearing in there aswell the whole lot was less than a fiver. Might save you some £££££ if its not your discs.
