I have wheel wobble on my 2011 SZ3. Just had king pins and swivel joints done but still some minor wobble present which will no doubt start to damage the new parts over time. I have also adjusted tyre pressures with limited success. I have 215/70 R15 tyres on. Will going back to 205/70 make a difference? Tracking snd balance been done, not sure what to try next??
If you have done everything else then check the ball joints on the steering bars. Also getting the balance right can be quite challenging as ideally it should be bolt centric to get repeatable results and further it is compounded by the build quality of the tyre and how chunky the tread is, cheap mud tyres can be a real nightmare and some garages will do what is called a center balance or statically balanced which again isn't quite as accurate.

Bellerophon daily dose of disappointment.

Mine was old, out of shape tyres and maybe a combination of balancing using the fixed method rather than cone. Once tyres and balanced was completed, it went away......of course aware this is not the answer for everyone.....
I don't think dropping the tyre size would really change anything unless you're certain it's the tyres. What make are they? I would also agree with others that cheap remoulds can really throw the balance off. Has the car been off-road? I would be checking that nothing is bent underneath that could be throwing the car off. Also Mud in the tyres can throw it off despite being balanced. You could try fitting a steering damper which some have success with.
