Think the old saying goes;

Felt through the steering wheel its wheel alignment.
In the seat of your pants its wheel balance.

Sorry but NO

if wobble is at a certain speed and can be driven through then more than likely wheel balance
if felt in steering wheel Front wheels if through the seat then Rear wheels

HTH :y

wouldve thought balancing would affect from 60mph upwards? so does the shaking start at 60 or 80mph.  ;)

SWMBO complained to me her steering wobbled at 80mph, took her to a tyre garage and had the fronts balanced.
The drivers was only slightly out but the passenger was quite a way out.

She's taken it for a test drive and no more wheel wobble  :y
