right - bit of an update,
as you may have im having a serious wheel wobble at the minute, not so bad now i have had the wheel balanced properly :angry:
but i still dont take the car over 50 really cos its horrible, lol.
me and my mate - the reliable one - had a good look the other day, and have decided that its not the wheel bearings as there is no play!
the trak rod ends seem ok, and the arb link is the only thing giving a bit of play -
so he told me to start there - i ordered the part and depending on weather and delivery time etc... i will fit it friday am of sat pm!
but have had a stern warning from the gf that i am not even looking at the car on sunday - valentines days peeps, lol!

so will update ya afteer then i think,
i also replaced another rear wheel bearing - i gues the wheels being so badly out of balanced killed it this time though!!
and as i was writing this, my wheel spacers have arrived - woo :D

cheers mate!
i hope so, if that doesnt work then im baffled!
if it still does it after that im gonna put the fronts back on the rear.
possibilty that it may be a sh!t tyre, it has been suggested!
also forgot - i siliconed in my side repeater cos the clips werent holding it in, and tinted my rear lights - what an improvement!
unfortunatly the right one bloomed as it was getting late, so need to do that one again with another coat, but other than that, great!

Could well be your tyre mate. ;)
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Are the spacers universal or hubcentric because universal spacers can cause wheel wobble as they aren't centralised on the hub
