Hey guys i got 19s on my mk4 (not lowered yet) and someone on fb asked me how my wheel wobble was after seein a picture of it lol
Honestly I never realised it till he mentioned it I mean the ride was a bit rough as it's really high but Wheel wobble lol.......now it's all I can see and the ride feels even worse cos I can see it
Am i right in thinking it's going to stop when it's lowered,
I'm thinking of a Bilstein set up any thoughts on this
Thanks

welcome to caddy2k

where exactly are you getting the wobble ?

depends on what sort of wheel wobble. maybe id start off with checking the torque of the wheel bolts and having the wheels balanced incase thats out. but the wheels should not wobble unless there was something major wrong but that should make a noise/knock. are the tyres new or second hand? if its the rear axle moving i believe you can reduce that with poly bushes

So someone you've never met has diagnosed your van with a "problem" from a photo?

What you described is typical for leaf spring suspension and the solid axle, I've put 250,000 miles on Caddys at standard height and all have had a rear wheel you can notice if you stare in the mirror. It's not a fault, you need to remember that when one side moves the other has to go with it, they are joined by a rigid axle.
Concentrate on the road ahead and don't worry about fixating on a problem that really isn't.

If anything, once you lower your caddy, the wheel will be closer to the arch and if you look it will be more noticeable.
Have a look at a standard caddy with standard steels on, you'll see how tucked the rears are and how much the arch overhangs at the top. This is exactly to cater for the wheel movement within the arch.

Doc's right mine does exactly the same,but I never noticed it until I lowered it.

Hi thanks for your replies guys
It's my 1st ever caddy (for show purpose) coming from a line of transits

I basically introduced myself on a caddy page (ccuk) like I did on here too with a pic and this "stranger" just asked how was my wheel wobble along with check your mirrors on humps n roundabouts etc
I didn't know if he was taking the Micky or wat so I've just been observing
I love my mk4 caddy think its amazing but so much to do do on it

It will get worse when you lower it

But look better
