Steering wobble from 0 - 45 mph

[AlpineF30]

Apologies for the stupid questions

The Mrs has reported her car has a steering wobble.

Took it out this morning and it appears to be occuring from standstill to approx 45 mph then the wobble goes away.

Whenever the car is moving very slowly it feels as if it is occuring with every rotation of one of the wheels I am thinking drivers side front.

The car is due new tyres on the front anyway and have looked around and the wheel doesn't appear to be buckled.

Could it be a flat spotted tyre or a wheel out of balance?

It is not happening under braking so I am guessing that rules a warped disc out?

Cheers

stick the spare on to rule out a wheel

As @pablo has said stuck on the spare (if you have one) and see what happens.

If it was a warped disc you would feel the pedal pulse under your foot.

and if its a seized caliper the wheel will be warm to the touch

Wheel bearing?

I would say if its happening from standstill there is some deformation of the tyre carcass on one or both of the front wheels.

Wheel nuts tight ?

Warped tyre, can be very dangerous, can happen for a number of reasons, bad carcass, impact damage etc

I'd go with a bulge or broken band in a tyre.

bad track rod end is usually the up to 40-45 shake, and the 60-65 plus is balancing.

Thanks all

Took the car in with 4 fresh tyres fitted this morning and the issue is now gone. So bad tyre seems to be the culprit
