Loose Steering
Hi. So finally got my hands on a 52 reg Icelandic blue VTR it's a bit of a mess I have been sorting it bit by bit, I have found out it even has the wrong size tyres fitted! New tyres have been bought and are being fitted Friday. Now on my way home from work after a while on the motorway I noticed the car started to drift and the steering feels really loose and scary if I'm honest. It was doing it when I first purchased it but seemed to fade away. I recently changed both driveshafts and went around checking all the bolts and nuts and inflated all the tyres. These all seem totally fine. Any ideas please??

I would check the rear beam for play as well. It can give the feeling of vague steering and 'wandering' round corners when the bearings are shot

Sounds like a plan, I will ask them to have a look see what's what I will update on Friday, fingers crossed it's nothing major

could also be the ball joints on the steering rack.

Hi guys, the loose steering has returned, I have noticed that the steering wheel has gone off centre and it all feels a bit dodgy? Lower arm maybe?
