My car has been of the road for 6 months, as I remember it used to feel like a go cart and now it feels like a cavalier. It seems to have a bit of play in the steering but I only notice this when on the motorway.

Anyone got any ideas I have a feeling it is one of the bushes but I dont know which one....?

 

Check Ball Joints.

thanks for that DOC...any idea how you check the ball joints

 

If the vagueness is around the centre, it may be worth getting tracking done. I had this symptom, went for tracking and found it was out by 3 degrees, the car felt alot sharper afterwards.

 

Ive just had the Anti roll bar bushes sorted on my mondeo, the car use to have a little play in there at speed but is much better now
I think they come in a pack of 2 anyway (well mine did ) as its always better to replace 2 at a time than just the one.

I had the wheel allignment done just before it came off the road but your right it is showing all the symptoms of that. If there is a worn bush somewhere then this could have a similar effect i.e. the movement would cause the wheels to be out of line...I think can anyone clarify this..?
