tracking or both wheels towing in slightly, un-balanced wheels, rubber mounts wearing out, pin in steering rack loose?

most people that do your tracking on new wheels tell you to drive around for a week and go back and their double check everything is ok! just to make sure your car has adjested to them alright!

Dude, its not the tracking. Your new wheels won't be balanced properly. I had the same prob. Get the wheels balanced only £4 a wheel and sorted

You could have lost some of the weights on your wheels since they were last balanced.

i had this problem got the wheels balanced and it was fine. Although some opf it may have been to do with the fact that 3 of my wheels didnt have sprigot rings on

I'd still say ballancing. Again even if parts were worn their needs to be something unballanced there to cause it to vibrate. Take it to a different place and get them to ballance the FRONT wheels. Just a quickie you could try yourself. Undo the front wheels and turn them 180 degrees on the hub mating face, i.e turn the wheels 2 bolt holes round as sometimes it can help if a wheel is not seating correct.
