steering wheel wobble
Hi, not under braking but whilst driving - notice it at 55 and 70 mph (ish - if you know what I mean).
Cant be wheel alignment as recently had this done and couldnt find anything under a search that doesn't include braking.
Any ideas greatly received.

You don't mention the simple thing of wheel balancing.
Have you had that checked.

Hi,
This sounds like warp disks as suggested by Malky. My brother has just had his hubs, disk, pads and steering rack (I think) replaced under warranty at my local dealer. In my brothers case this occurred under braking. He was told the steering rack metal was to soft and that the power assisted steering was to efficient. This according to the dealer is a known issue and I would suggest you get the dealer to investigate it if it is not down to wheel balancing.
Hope this helps.
