Wobbly Steering Wheel

[Rob is200 SportCross]

I've been plagued by a juddering steering wheel (45-60mph)and no idea of the cause. Had the wheels balanced twice & tracking checked. Then noticed the tyre would not spin freely when the car was jacked up.

Yet again a sticking caliper is to blame. I was basically driving with the front nearside brake partially on.

I have cleaned, lubricated and compressed the offending pistons and cured the judder.

My thanks to Alexey Gavrilov for posting a useful video which was the basis for my diy fix. Here is the link, hope it works...

I the vibration there when you first set-off or does it begin a few miles later?

[Rob is200 SportCross]

A few miles later, when I get up to about 45mph.

Now that I have sorted the seized caliper, the judder has gone.

Thought it was that..... That's why it took a few miles before the vibration.
