up to about 55 mph all is ok, but up to 60 get wheel wobble , i have checked all the normal bits, so is it just out of balence road wheels

You could try swapping them about - and see if that helps. I'm sure you have read in the past of my 'diy' balance system - and it's worked well for me. But it doesn't balance out any side to side unbalance on the wheel - ie it could be heavy on the outside rim at one point, and heavy on the inside rim at another point - possibly even at 180 degrees from the first. To get rid of this imbalance requires a proper 'dynamic' balance - rather than my crude 'static' method.

thanks bmc will try changine the wheels round

If its just started check the rim to see if a weight has come off as you can normally see where they were if missing.

Wheel wobble at about 45 mph, get the fronts balanced.
At 55-60 or above, get them balanced on the car.

Do grages still do that - balance on the car ? My DIY stsic balance is 'on the car' and therefore takes the unbalanced brake drum into account (even more important with nice BIG brake drums!) - but doesn't consider the dynamic balance . I suppose with discs fitted - there is much less in the rotating assembly to be out of balance. The diy balance can still be used - just take the pads out to let the wheel swing free.

(even more important with nice BIG brake drums!)

WHAT !!! a negative point about Wolesley drums

When you try swapping teh wheels & looking for missing balance weights give them a wire brishing inside too - surprising what a chunk of dried out mud can do to the balancing.

Are you sure it is wheel wobble and not prop shaft?

Just take the 'wheel clamp' off Dennis.

ah thats what it is no wonder i have that problem

thanks for all the comments guys

will check all the things out over xmas
and a happy xmas to all
