I notice that sometimes my cars speedo needle wobbles, I have noticed it a few times, usually on the first bit of dual carriageway on my commute (2 mins from home). I haven't noticed it at any other time during the day (typical commute is 20 miles each way).

I am guessing the speedo is mechanical, so could there be a loose union somewhere causing this?

answers on a postcard, please....
 
What vehicle? Sounds like a stretched speedo cable. Replacement would be needed.
