Why does my car wobble???

[PASSAT SAJ.]

Hi folks,

I've noticed a slight wobble on my 53reg passat tdi sport. It had been standing for about 4 weeks while i was on my hols. The near side tyre was turned into the curb as i live on a slight hill. When i drove it after the 4 wks i noticed the car would slightly shake or wobble between 30 and 40 mph then again at 60 and 70 mph. It seems to do it more when im driving up hill, both front tyres have been balanced and its still the same. I changed the tyre that was against the curb with my spare tyre and its still the same. Is there some common fault here that i dont know about??? HELP!!

Cheers.

Have you had your tracking checked? Who balanced your wheels? Had the car on a stand and inspected all the suspension arms/bushes?

Have you checked that the rear tires are also balanced as these also cause vibrations..
