What could cause wobbling in my front end?

Asked by Jessicalynn287 Apr 30, 2020 at 08:32 PM about the 2010 Ford Focus SEL

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

What would cause wobbling in the front driver side
Tire. It shakes my steering wheel and it feels like
the tires wobbling while driving it starts and then it
stops and then it starts and then it stops whenever
I'm above 45. I've had the suspension checked and
replace the stabilizer links and control arms along
with new tires. Anyone got any ideas I've taken it to
multiple people to look at no one can help.

Sounds like the shops your going to aren't very good. Did they ck the bearing for play? Usually if it was wobbling before changing the tires I would say it's the wheel hub bearing. If your able to, jack that side up and remove the tire. Check for play in the spindle. It shouldn't move side to side or up and down.

I have the exact same thing happening. I replaced struts,end links,rebalanced tires,new wheel bearings and hubs on both front sides. And helped the wobble and shake. Today I picked up new rotors and driver side cv axle. I’m heading to put the rotors and pads on now will keep you posted. Tonight when I come home and came down the mountain I put in neutral and still had the wheel wobble I’m thinking warped rotor replacement might do the trick. I’d not had to be the cv axle
