Hi

I am new here and can't find my way around very well, I'm not sure where to post this but this is my question,

I have bought a bike jack which leaves the front wheel and bars wobbling about, is there a proper way to stop this from happening and keep the wheel straight please

Welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure what kind of jack/lift you have but you should use tie-down straps to secure the bike to the lift. That should solve your front wheel issue.

Regards,
Ken
