Not sure if this is in the right place guy's:crazy: , sorry if its not.
The girlfriend drive's a 2004 A140 classic SE 4 door (SWB), i had to use it the other day and noticed the steering wheel was shaking from take-off to 35 MPH, only a tiny bit but wobbling in my hand never the less, so i asked her had she wacked any kerbs or anything and she said YES:crazy: , a few weeks ago she clipped a kerb in the carpark at work, then i asked her if she had noticed the steering wheel wobbling, she said YES, i thought that was normal for a car its age:eek: .
Anyway i did the brake pads today and swapped the front and rear wheels around to wear the tyres evenly and the "Wobble" slash "Shake" has gone:bannana:
Im now running on the idea she's buckled the offside front wheel as i found a scratch in the wheel trim and rim, im sure ill find out when it needs tyres and they try balencing it.
 
Buckled wheels on a-classes seem so common.
