I have noticed that we had a quite pronounced wheel wobble on the drivers side rear (well a passing porche driver pointed it out) so thinking that is was a problem tyre changed the wheel and the wobble persisted, no wobbles on any other wheel. So question is have I eliminated the wheel/tyre idea by changing wheels, are 2cv wheels balanced as none of mine seem to be? What else could it be? I cant tell you how long we have had this problem as the car drives fine. I'm a bit reluctant to let my daughter drive her car until this is solved any suggestions welcome cheers Colin

Look to see if wheel is running true (you may have had a damaged spare as well). If OK hold the tyre at 'quarter to three' and see if there is any play in the wheel bearing or perhaps the centre hub nut is loose (under the centre cover) Check arm isn't loose or has any play either (bit from chassis that holds the wheel) _________________ Dyane 6 1981 LN 602 1977 2cv Bamboo - Green Bean 2 (Raid Imber Car)

What size is the axle nut? as I dont have one big enough so couldnt check bearings etc. Another thing on my list for Sunday, hope there will still be traders etc there as my list is getting longer Colin
