Low speed steering wobble

[ajw8849]

Hi all,

Recently had issues with steering rack on my 2018 T6 resulting in removal, refurbishment and refitting of steering rack.

Before the removal a low speed wobble started in the steering at around 10-15mph which then disappeared at higher speeds.

This is still there after all the work so wondering what it might be? Was thinking wheel balancing but got the same wheels ok as before this issue started?

Van has also recently had two new driveshafts and refurbished gearbox so could be linked to this?

Swap the wheels front to rear to be sure. It's free, so worth checking out.

Also check the mating surfaces of the wheel and disc bell are clean. They should be as blemish free as the blade you use to spread butter on your toast. I once spend months chasing a wobble and eventually traced it to that. Again, it's free to check so worth doing.

Thanks, will give that a go tonight. I've got 10mm spacers in, not sure if they are likely to cause issues.

Should have added that I've had the tracking done since I refitted the rack so confident I can rule that out.

Tracking or alignment ?

After trying the free and basics I would be tempted to get a proper four wheel alignment done
