    Car wobbling under acceleration

    I'll have a look at the bolts. Hopefully its something as simple as that! Im tempted to change the driveshafts on both sides but dont wanna spend the money on parts then it turns out to be something else. Just wanted to see what others suggested.

    Car wobbling under acceleration

    Thanks for the replies!! I was thinking possibly the CV joint so is nice to hear someone else suggest it! Is there any way you can check for excessive wear without taking it apart? Also could it possibly be an engine mount or anything similar? Yep have had all the alignment checked was spot on.

    All sorted now!! Turns out the timing belt was a tooth out of sync, hence the error code. Also had a split pipe right near the connection which was causing the loss of power. Timing belt sorted, pipe cut and shortened slightly to get rid of the split. All codes gone and running perfectly now.
