    Issue #2 (Steering Woes)

    This is partially linked to Issue #1 (and it could be).

    When I'm at a slow speed, say less than 20kph, and I move the steering wheel left-right-left , it doesn't exactly vibrate, it feels like something is loose.

    In addition I have another problem (issue #1).

    What could be possibly loose to cause this ?

    Any ideas ?

    Yeah and whilst you are getting the wheel alignment done, get em to check there is nothing loose in the front end.

    Something worn

    Most (decent) wheel aligners won't touch anything if there's significant wear in bushes, joints, rack etc. They know that they'll have problems getting it right. Ask for a check first. No point in realigning with something worn.

    Hey champ, I'm alright!

    I had the wheel alignment done and it went away, but at the moment it has come back a bit more. I'll check the bushes and see if anything needs tightening.

    If it's the rotors that need machining, is it a walk in/walk out job ?
