Another V70 steering wobble

aemt5 · Jul 4th, 2013, 10:23

Hi all. After doing a search i though i would stick a post up to see if anyone has had the same issue.

I've been chasing knocks and wobbles on the fron end of my 2001 v70 T5 (156000 miles) for a while now and so far cured all knocks, but can't seem to bottom out a vibration from the steering, which is also felt throughout the car.

So far i've replaced all 4 shocks, top mounts, inner and outer track rods, antiroll bar links, wishbone bushes (polybush for the front, HD rubber for the rear) and front wheel bearings as they were all shot. The car handles great, but the vibration remains.

I've had the wheels balanced several times now and this makes no difference. The vibration starts around 40mph and cannot seem to power through it. It gets worse on very heavy braking down to a standstill. No vibration aparent under normal braking.

I've inspected the tyres and found no lumps or bumps, and cannot see any obvious buckles in the wheels.

Any ideas before i fork out for new wheels, tyres or brakes?
