TRY TRACKING AND A DIFFERENT SET OF WHEELS AS 1 MAY BE BUCKLED OR COULD BE EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING KNUCKLE OR COLOUM.

Hiya there is no play in the steering at all,or any vibration through the steering wheel,the tyres are about a month old with no sign of uneven wear,its as if the steering just goes sloppy at anything over 60 or if i accelerate hard :/

Does the car constantly pull? If so swap the front tyres around and see if it now pulls to the other side. As this could be the problem.

If it only pulls to one side when you accelerate then it will be your wishbones.
