i'm thinking if it was a dodgy abs sensor then you might get an intermittent fault...

Drove the FF home down the motorway 50 miles at 75mph ish no problem at all. Just my normal steering wheel shaking I've always had. Checked for faults, all clear. Checked my nuts all ok no height sensor fault either. Having the 4 wheel alignment done tomorrow so it may be that. |

Possibly some deposits on the discs from standing for a week.

i had similar wobble and it was my front left (nearside) brake caliper sticking. The rubber gromit inside had perished and causing it to stick. only wobbled at 50mph to 65mph. |

Is it possible that having the car sitting for a week is the cause?

That's what it's like. It was like it was warming up early on, it was fine on the way home nothing at all |

Ok I had the 4 wheel alignment done today. Going one way on the front and the other way on the back . But all done now and felt good on the way home, steering straight. £50 not bad I thought. Still don't think it was the cause of the wobble tho. Could it be anything to do with the air suspension when going into motorway height ?

Ok Im still getting this wheel wobble. It's the same time on the motorway every time. I'll start the FF and pop 1 mile along the duel carriageway to pick up a mate, a couple more miles of duel carriageway, start stop to get onto the motorway. Then usually it's been 15-20 mins since start up. A couple of miles along the motorway 50-60 mph and the wobble happens, lasts for around 1/2 a mile then goes. Seems to be wobblier tho ! Do 40-50 mile trip, a bit of work for 5-6 hours then back down the motorway. Nothing at all, good as gold cruising down the road.

I know it may sound daft, but could it be the 'motorway rut'. The track left by artics as they trundle up and down the motorway. History - Glutton for Punishment
