sometimes its really bad and sometimes i cant feel / hear it at all? any ideas? someone said tracking?

Also i do quite a bit of motorway driving and at about 75-80 it feels slightly unstable (obviously this is without using the brakes).

Any ideas lads?

Tracking?

Are there any other symptoms if it was tracking i could look out for?
(not too clued up on motors)

ok i see, i currently have 2 normal corsa wheels on the front because im getting my alloys refurbed (2 at a time). But even before (when i had all 4 alloys on) it done the same. Does this mean its warped brakes or tracking or both? or is wheel balancing still a possibility?

if its only when you are braking its more than likely going to be warped discs.
