hi all hope anyone give me abit of advise please
her in doors drove the car today while pulling up to park she hit the kerb
so front tyre went flat
got a call went and changed the tyre for the spare
but now when you drive it wobble on steering wheel
any ideas?
all nuts are tight same wheel which came off car
help if you can please
jack it back up but no wobble in wheel
 
your wheel is not balanced mate get it balanced.Probably knocked the weights of it when you hit the curb. Or the wheel is buckled? try the spare see if that cures it.
 
hi thanks for reply
just tried the spre but still got the wobble
 
Check tyre pressures mate, get wheels balanced :)

Failing that, she has prob knocked a wearing bush out on the wishbone... which will mean wishbone (lower suspension arm) change :) you should do both sides really as I found if I changed just one the other side followed in failing pretty quickly... after the wishbone change if it needs it, you will need to have tracking checked.
 
If the wobble is at slow speed then the tyre has more than likely has a flat spot or is out of shape. Hth
 
Have the tracking checked mate, a sideways knock that hard has to have put the tracking out and may have damaged the track rod ends or rack assembly.
