i've got the same problem as that, i'm going to get the mechanic to check it when it goes for its mot. the other thing that made mine seem a little more unstable was when i jacked up the front end and the wheels came back down straight as aposed to the / \ which they were like (not quite as sharp as that but the bottom edge was out a little more than the top edge)

could this problem be caused by worn/fooked wheel barings?
and are gsi barings and hubs diiferent than 1.2 8v merit ones?

took the car to vauxhaul yesterday....:rolleyes: what a waist of 30 quid.....
i was told that... " the wheels are way to big for the car and that there a contributing factor" there only 16's ffs....... they wouldnt know were to start with the coilovers... they wanted to install the original suspension :lol:
and this one... :lol: "the car is not designed to have an engine of that size/power"..... :lol: its a c16xe ffs granted it has a few extra pieces but i dunno... basically they done everything i did then said they would have to start fresh with the original parts.... yeh right G T F.....
so still have the problem.... ball joints are new... trackrod ends are new.... i ordered some new top mounts so i'll put them in on saturday...
jesus the dark evenings are a pain in the arse.... if this was summer were i had some daylight i would have the problem solved by now.....
seems to be when i let someone else work on the car it goes tits up.:mad:

sounds like a problem with your actual steering rack/wheel rather than the suspension/wheels mate

Yet another problem to the list :(
the steering has been feeling 'wierd' to me lately. hard to describe but at low speed i have to turn the wheel nearly 1 full revolution to get around a small bend in the road. yesterday its got really bad the steering feels like i have power steering (i dont) at 50 or 60 i dont feel very contected to the front wheels.... if ya turn the wheel half a revolution the car is still going straight....
i when arounf every single bolt in the front suspension and evrything is tight and looks ok
gonna book it into vauxhaul today cos it feels a bit dangerous to me...
:mad: why wont it just work:mad:
