Im getting a worrying wobble through the steering wheel that i can feel through the whole car. I first thought it could be wheel balancing so i had them re-balanced and it got worse. Ive got the car booked in for a 4 wheel alignment and re-balancing.

It seems to be worst when i accelerate onto a motorway up the slip road and when i come off the throttle once i reach 70ish....

Im now thinkin it could be bushes or something bent?? so im starting to worry!! tyres are all pretty new pirelli p zeros and they seem to be wearing evenly.

any ideas?

Are your wheel nuts tight? It has happened to me.

Could be warped brake discs.

If the wheels are balanced correctly.
lift the car up and check to see if you have any play in the track rods or the ball joints.
