there is something wrong with my passenger wheel some where at front as i have to keep tightening the hub nut up only slightly every so often as wheel gets fair bit of wobble, checked the ball joint, track rod end and everything else and nothing loose.
however i noticed today whilst tightening it again that i decided to remove brake disc etc out way took nut off completely and u can slide drive shaft backwards and forwards about 1/2 inch should u be able to do that?? then whacked nut back on and tightened put split pin through and put wheel back on and there is no wobble but if i give it few days it will come back i think AGAIN lol
do u think wheel bearing is knackered or somat as its startin to annoy me alot.

there is some movment in the drive shafts (if you push hard enuf) you may have a worn cv joint or a nackerd wheel bearing
wobble/virbration through the steering wheel usualy means the wheels are off ballance/a bent or buckeled rim or your tracking is out. have you checked the wishbone bushes and the roll bar bushes ??
when you say you did the hub nut up did you use a torque wrench ???

hub nut should only be done up hand tight, so a torque wrench wouldn't really help, unless you mean he may have done it too much and damaged it.
