   I have a wheel wobble at about 50 plus just wondering if this is a bearing gone or because of the top strut mount (which is loose and being fixed) which is causing the wheel to be out of balance??
   
   Would apprecieate some opinions?
   
   Cheers.

   Could be bearings but if bearings are gone they make a humming sort of noise as you drive along normally but it could be bearings, could be top mount bush and bearings, could be tracking or the wheels might just need balancing

   yeah I cant hear any grinding type noise so I think they just might need balancing.. cause of the loose strut

   I would get them balanced before you do anything else. Cheapest thing first
   
   Saxo wheels are difficult to balance as there isn't a hole in the middle of the wheel to mount the wheel onto the balancing machine. You need special adaptors which some places don't have.

   As above get them balanced first.
