I had a mate with what he thought was wheel wobble but it turned out to be blown rear damper.
The damper was so bad the rear left wheel was leaving the road and properly bouncing up and down.
i don't think it's that tbh because the coilovers have been on for less than a year and it was doing the same prior to them being fitted. Matt @ dubunit had a quick look around the other week while it was in for a service but no obvious causes could be seen which is why i'm thinking it could be drive/load related

Ok, I trust Matt more than some of my own family so I'm sure he has checked all.

I’ve got a 2006 Caddy Life 1.9l TDI DSG with 350,000kms on the clock. I’ve had the Wobbles for years, but time for replacement of both drive shafts has arrived. Noisy, clunky and wobbly! This is Australia and costs will be around $1200 for supply and fit.
