After three wheel alignments, three balances (at different places) and new front wheel bearings (re-checked too) I can't seem to get rid of a wobble that has started to appear at around 95 - 105km/h on my '99 GU wagon with 180,000km's on the clock. Tried rotating tyres again, changes the problem slightly, but still doesn't fix it.

Had new suspension (including steering damper and castor kit) put in it 5,000km's ago and that seemed to bring it on. Hasn't done this in 170,000km's prior. Requested thorough check of all suspension / steeering components at the time of install and apparently all are good.

Cooper AT's are at 70,000km's, but they still seem to balance up OK and have a fair amount of tread left. Are the very expensive 'on vehicle' wheel balances worth the dough ($25 p/w)?

Any suggestions?

Cheers
