Hi there,

Speed wobbles..... have the steering, suspension and tyres checked ASAP, you may have a dangerous failure ready to strike.

Had the front end checked (steering, suspension, tires) and everything looked fine. He noted however, a nasty dent in the transverse frame (running from left to right at the front of the car). Probably caused by the accident she had. Could this cause the inability for the car to hold the road?

Hi there,

If all the suspension & steering are sound, may be there is a problem with the wheel alignment if you had an accident this cold well be out, go get a front wheel alignment check, this will show up any other front end problems.
