As the title states I am getting a wobble from my front passenger tire at 100km. By the time it gets to 107-110km the wobble goes away. The XJ doesn't have anyother wobble issues at any other speed. Anyone know what could be the cause of this?

Always check the most obvious thing first. Start by rotating in another tire... then have someone saw the wheel back and forth while you look for anything with play. Then, do whatever the others tell you to try. LOL

leave the tire alone until you do mechanical checks.
do the "saw the wheel" thing. check the tracbar and tre's
jack tire up and grab at 12 and 6 and check for play, should be none. indicates bad wheelbearing.
try another tire rotated in if that stuff is ok.

My experience has been that if you can drive out of a vibration, it is usually wheel balance. It depends on your definition of "wobble"  However, it doesn't hurt to check all the steering and bearing components by just jacking it up. |

anything at all funny in the front end, i always check unit bearings. they can go bad any time.
and its easy, so not a hassle.
