Hey /o/ my 2004 passat is having some front end issues that i cant figure out.
When im decelerating the steering wheel starts wobbling and shaking really bad, I know its coming from the front drivers side wheel because it starts making a really bad rubbing noise.
Would anyone have an idea as to what it might be? I was thinking a control arm bearing or wheel bearing but im not sure.

it makes a really bad rubbing noise while decelerating? when was the last time you changed your brakes?

I got the calipers and pads replaced in october.

wheel alignment
Either you need an alignment bad or the disc rotor is warped
>>14137835
But not the rotors?
>>14137835
Uneven or a warped caliper could cause it, check that first.
Just recently a buddy of mine had the same sort of thing with his wheels but it was all the time, and after replacing the wheel bearings it was good.

I dont think its an alignment as it doesnt pull to the left all the time only when its making the noise.

Do it yourself fagit, its easy as hell replacing rotors

If you have a jack and a breaker bar, just check yourself

Decelerating or braking?
If the former then the most likely cause is shot bushes, if the latter cheap ass disc has warped.
