I wonder if anyone can impart some words of wisdom here.  I'm getting a wheel wobble at about 70mph(🤭) but perhaps not the usual feel, it just feels like there's some play somewhere.  I've got new shock absorbers, new drop links and D bushes, plus I've got four new tyres and I've had a four wheel alignment done and the balancing checked twice. It's just past the MOT without an advisory and I've had two competent mechanics check it but both say there's nothing amiss.  Any ideas, can you think of anything else that would cause a wobble?  Brake calipers are fine and tyre pressures correct.

It's all tight and secure John, a bit of a mystery.  Also the car has only covered 72k.

I had a similar problem with the Type 3 VW Fastback Phil many years ago and it was the Power Steering belt.

Have you checked the inside walls of the front tyres as a bubble or swelling there might impart a wobble at speed. ?

The tyres are only 3 weeks old and I had them re checked for balancing, plus it was serviced last week and MOT'd so I'm guessing they would have seen something.
