Default Help, my scooby has got the wobbles..

The only 4WD I've driven before my scooby has been a Land Rover, so excuse my ignorance with this question - I'm also not very mechanically minded.

My scooby drives fine until about 70 mph when she starts to get the shakes. At about 100 they get so distinct that they are audible. The tracking seems out but not by a massive amount - is this likely to be caused by something like warped brake discs?

I've noticed a couple of times that she has pulled hard to one side while braking.

I've only just brought her and it is annoying to have such a issue so early, but she has covered over 90,000 miles.

Regards


James

You might have lost a wheel balancing weight - so could just be as simple as getting wheels re-balanced - worth a go for the sake of a few quid bunged to your local kwik fit boys...

As you admit you are not mechanically minded you need to get someone who is to check this out.
There could be several reasons but you must get it checked especially as you are having brake problems.
From high speeds I don't want brakes that are pulling, neither do you.
