My 2007 tdv8 has done this twice now. Driving along at about 50 and all of a sudden there's about an inch of wobble in both directions. It does it for a few seconds then goes back to normal.

I checked all those and replaced a lower arm very recently. The feeling of this is very immediate on and off and feels hydraulicy through the wheel. What level should the pas fluid be at? |

i seem to have this issue also around 50-70 there seems to be a vibration or lumpiness i thought maybe a wheel balance issue, but im replacing rear discs and pads this week, but pulling away and under load its perfect just at motorway cruising speeds it noticeable |

A tired Power steering pump would probably do it, or if the belt is slipping. |

Just to round this off, as another poster mentioned I had a sticking caliper. Changed it and no more issues. |
