Bit of a wobbly
 

Good evening all, hope you're staying safe and well. I am getting a slight wobble through the steering wheel, it's not massive but I know it's there. I had the front wheels balanced yesterday but that hasn't cured it. It feels almost like a buckled wheel. The wobble doesn't get worse with speed in fact it decreases if anything. Any ideas anyone please?

It could be a number of things from a worn joint on a suspension arm to the bearing failing on the driveshaft.

could even be low tyre pressure, wheel bolts lose or missing, damaged tyre

They would have picked up on a loose or missing wheelnut and the tyres are ok, tyre pressures could be out but they look ok. I'll check em tomorrow. It passed it's test end of February and hasn't really done owt since then due to lockdown and waiting for a new oil cooler so I would have thought they would spot failing components but I must admit I was thinking maybe a kaput track rod end because it feels like a wheel is wobbling in and out. Thanks for the replies guys, I'll have to investigate further.

I’ve had inner and outer track rod ends replaced in the past that cured a problem like this.
When driving at low (< 30mph) speed, over rough ground, a bump, stone or pebbles 🙄, the steering wheel would do as it pleased.
Can’t say which it was, inner or outer TRE, as both seemed ok on the face of it.🤔
