Right, my golf has major judder through the steering wheel at motorway speeds.
I'm thinking it might just be the wheels need balancing.
What do you guys think?

Only other thing is a wheel buckle. Or a shagged engine mount.

Try swapping the wheels from front to back. Of course if the back wheels are also out of balance this wont tell you a thing. It's not a bad idea to get them all balanced anyway.

mine does this at around 60 upwards, but if i put my foot down it stops, it also causes a few squeaks in the boot, think its the parcel shelf and the back seat wobbling

Sounds like an out of balance wheel. Do a bit of swapping around of wheels, see if that helps. If not it could be that the geometry is out.

Just told the missus she can't have my car tomorrow.
I might finally get a chance to do some work on it.

Very true but they might wobble at different speeds. With balancing related wobbles you can usually drive through the wobbly period so if it currently wobbles between say 65 and 80 and you swap them and it moves to 55 and 70 or whatever, you're onto something. If you swap the wheels and it's exactly the same it's probably something else. |
