... And btw, tracking/toe is only one of the 3 settings to be concerned with on the omega. Full geometric set up is required for toe, camber and caster on the front, with
Toe affecting camber on the rear.

Depends how things pan out with faults on the car, but have a look through the guides and FAQ sections for chassis/handling issues.

I just drove home from work, and it seem to be the resenating through the car like a tremmer\ shaking.. There is also a  slight wobbling, and mean very slight  on the steering wheel, not like it was before I canged the disc and pads over on the weekend..

Well, as i drive along, and at around 50mph and upwards, the car gently starts to shiver/shuddering, the steering wheel also but very slightly shakes too. The whole shiver/shuddering thing seems to be under my seat but it may well just be me.  :-\

Also when i slow down to 30mph and less, there is a sound like thrumb thrumb thrumb until the car stops, this is not loud, but it is noticeable. :(

I have changed the front discs, which removed the pulsating from the foot pedal, and I thought it would have cured the wobbling sensation, but it has not.  :(

I have checked the back brakes, and they seem fine,  :) I have even had her on a rolling road and had a brake test carried out and all is good.

I have had the tracking done with laser, had all wheels balanced but she still moaning like all girls.. (sorry ladies)

What could it be next, a bush somewhere maybe… I feel I could be out of my depth here, if I have to start dismantling old Vicky Vauxhall….. :'(

Any ideas guys

is there a humming or groaning noise as well when you have this wobble?
suspect front wheel bearing?  :-\
wheel nuts tightened correctly after the tyres were last balanced? :-\

No, its more of a thrumb thrumb thrumb until the car stops, but you only hear this below 30mph, yes and the i have tightened all the wheel nuts myself... just drove to the fire station, and i can confirm i have the steering feel as solid as a rock, theres no cluncking or knocking, but there is a slight wobble from the steering but it just seems to travel through the car... :'(
