    Ok, so had to get new rear tyres on my accord, so called into my local tyre place the other day, had them put my current fronts which are 3months old onto the back of the car, and two new tyres onto the front.

    Everythin seems to be fine, but on the drive home i felt this wobble every so often, esp going round corners. It was a very windy day so thought it was that. Now this week im driving alot, and ive noticed that there is a serious wobble with the car. Is not a shaking that would indicate that the wheels need balancing. Its more the i go round a corner, i straighten up, then the car may wobble once or twice then drive on straight with a slight wobble every 6or7 secs.

    There is a slight pull to the left so the alignment is prob out, as its def not the camber of the road.

    Anyone got ideas what could be causing this??:eek:

    ...sorry, check that the tyres are the right inflation, 30psi, check for uneven wear and damage to the track rods / suspension arms.

    there 17" alloys, and the alloys from the back, were then used on the front with new tyres.
