Dear all
I was wondering if you can give me a few clues on this one. At relatively high speed, approx 70-80 mph, there appears to be a sort of looseness in the steering wheel feel. Car is a 1995 Aero which has just passed it's MOT with no problems so I assume that nothing is badly worn down there.There is no discernable play in the rack.
It feels at if there is a sort of "kick" on the steering wheel, especially on bumpy surfaces and a degree of wheel imbalance being transmitted to the steering wheel but tyres are only 4k old and balanced at the time.
My old CSE seemed to have very secure feel at the wheel but the Aero seems much more "edgy". My only suspicion would be worn butterfly bushes or worn sttering rack mounting bushes.
Any clues guys?
Thanks
Ant
