Default Please help with my steering problem

Hi everyone, this is my first post so please be kind.
I have a problem with my UK 99 wagon, when going around a roundabout or corner (right hand down) at around 30mph and over the car has a vibration through the chassis and feels as the front near side wheel is skipping to the left, strange vibration, fine when turning left. All bush's fine, steering rack fine, brakes fine, no wheel wobble, car was 4% out on tracking, had this done and still the same, tried different wheels, still the same, HELP!!!!!!!

about the only thing I can think of is a warped disc.
second choice would be a wheel bearing
or worse case scenario is a front diff problem

I could understand a warped disc but I have no judder under braking, plus it brakes straight and true, no bearing noise or diff wine, forgive me but I'm no mechanic and what you say may be right, I would have thought that these would give other symptoms as well
Thanks for your reply though I appreciate it

I have done, the contraption above the pit shook the hell out of the front, steering and suspension and said it was all spot on

No sorry I wasn't clear , I meant like a subaru specialist, as I have learnt your general grease monkey don't see many imprezas or performance cars And are more used to the average car! Which can lead to spending a lot of extra £'s when they are guessing at problems at your expense !

Get it over to Scoobyclinic, they're in Chesterfield so not too far and have loads of secondhand bits off cars they're breaking, should be able to sort it for you at a reasonable price.
