    Default high speed front wheel wobble

    my VL wagon has a high speed front wheel wobble, felt thru the steering wheel, it comes and goes for no apparent reason
    have been told its from a worn out steering rack but others say rack would give plenty of warning when steering if it was worn

    the bolts holding the rack to chassis seem OK except one bolt that isnt very tight and cant be tightened any more, was told this is normal

    any suggestions ??

    not something silly like loose wheel nuts?
    front end vibration can be a number of things
    ranging from
    worm bearings, Bushes, Wheel weight has been thrown off, Steering rack, tie-rod ends, brake rotor warped, bent rim,
    most of these are felt at all speeds though
