I had the camber and alignment done at Volvo, and the balancing done at Kwik Fit (Volvo dont balance wheels !!) .. the guy at Kwik Fit informed me that a wheel was slightly buckled but tried to balance it the best he could ... although i have to admit i did'nt believe the guy that it was buckled tbh !! ... i then noticed instantly that the car had a slight steering wheel wobble at 70mph ... but whilst through in Edinbrugh last week i took it back to another Kwik fit and it now seems i have 2 buckeld wheels !!!!!! .... They are 17'' Canisto's (C70) .. can they be repaired ?? ... they could do with a refurbish anyway .... they guy says that that the wheel is going up and down and not from side to side ...... i dont know if that makes a difference .... ;)
