AWFULL Wheel wobble on LEFT TURNS only!
Hi all.. as above really, car in question is a Series 2, 1999 W reg, Xantia Hdi 110bhp...
Ive check ALL the obvious - BOTTOM Ball joints, (Brand new one on drivers side), track rod ends, no play, rubber bushes are ok..
Could it be a CV joint/drive shaft, or a caliper problem??
Any sugestions? Thanks guys!

I'd suspect either the handbrake is being pulled on on a left turn due to a bad/misadjusted cable or one of the CV joints is iffy; more than likely one of the inboard ones.
I once had a similar issue and it coincided with having a new CV boot fitted by a garage. It transpired that'd removed the CV joint and on reassembly had neglected to replace the C clip on the end of the driveshaft. On hard left turns the joint was nearly sliding right off the end of the driveshaft splines.
A new C clip and all was well.

Cheers Jim, you have really actually answered my suspsion..
When I did the engine job ((YES its the same blydi car) I had to split the shaft at the half shaft inner joint, Drivers side, and then it wouldn't go back together properly... I wonder if this - no infact, Im now more certain this is the problem.. I have another un split shaft off the HDi I stripped couple of months ago, Ill bang that one in for him... and see what happens..

Thank you SO MUCH! You hit the nail on the head! It was the DRIVERS Side drive shaft, the inner CV joint..
To be looked at later

Oh blimey! there probably was one, someone had a green Xantia S2 on ebay a while back, then pulled the listing and decided to scrap the car due to costs to repair - they were in Dolgellau I think, I sent them an email too moaning about the stupid price their mechanic had told them it would cost to fix but of course I was too late - It was green too
Ill keep my eye open for you!

I am refering to the C clip CitroJim mentioned about earlier in this thread, and quoted above.CitroJim wrote:I'd suspect either the handbrake is being pulled on on a left turn due to a bad/misadjusted cable or one of the CV joints is iffy; more than likely one of the inboard ones.

Ah right, no the C Clip was fine - It seems like the inner CV as it was sounding a bit rough when I turned the wheel while jacked up...
New shaft and it sounded much smoother and quiter, and according to my customer report all is well!
Thankgod at last!
