-02 CDI 220 wobble

[Kristofer]

Hi!


I recently bought a 2002 CDI 220 station wagon which seems like a fantastic car, I already love it. About 230000 km on it.

At lower speeds (<80 km/h) it seems to handle really well, above that it sometimes gives me an intermittent "wobble" in a bit sharper curves. It´s pretty unconfortable.

I can also mention that the previous owner told me that the car needs "front wagon adjustment", (the steering wheel has to be slightly turned to the left to drive straight). A procedure which should be quite straight-forward according to him.

Is there any connection? Or maybe do I have a more serious problem which requires immediate attention?

I´m a beginner when it comes to car mechanics, so pls bear with me!

Thanks in advance,

Kristofer

You need to get the Tracking of the wheels checked, also check for steering linkage wear and balance of front wheels too.

Problem was solved with a front wheel alignment today!

Thanks
