Hi my V70 2.5 T 160K is wobbling, i nottice it at low speed more than anything, there is vibration when driving normally. I haven't any play on the wheels, but i know my front bearings are i little noisy ? is this maybe something to do with the tyres ? or the worn bearings thanks for your help........ Ady

check to see if any of the wheels are warped if not then it may either be bearings or bushes in the suspension that are warn out

Wheels need balancing?

Tyre with a bleb on the side wall or just worn out tyres? Check all 4 wheels!!

Look for the easy options before the expensive!

A few months ago my V70 developed an annoying shake. After several attempts at balancing by different garages I was on the verge of having new front struts, when a neighbour (who works for VW Audi as a tyre fitter) suggested one last shot at balancing. He was right - balancing sorted it. A different garage simply took their time and balanced the wheels carefully! What's more, after they'd heard my tale of woe they did it for free!

Cheers
