Steering Wobble

[Guest BigSte]

I have a bit of a problem with my steering, in that when I'm going quite fast on the motorway, I can feel shallow, oscilating vibrations in the steering wheel and it feels as though the power-steering has a mind of it's own.

I have to concentrate to keep it in a straight line.

 

Also, almost always when I pull away whilst turning I get a bit of wheel-spin or jumping from the front wheels. And if I go over a pot-hole with just one wheel, it tends to spin a little faster and pull the car in that direction.

 

I used to drive a 1.0L Micra, so maybe I'm just not tuned into big cars, but it does seem a bit weird, although I can't put my finger on what the problem is.

 

Anybody got any ideas what this might be?

What condition are your tyres in? Measure the depths across each tyre.

I get the wheelspin aswell when pulling away,I just ease off clutch a little.The vehicle should be stable at motorway speeds,like I say check tyres & if you can suspension bushes,mine is fine at motorway speeds but it's good that you concentrate on driving unlike alot of idiots! Let us know about the tyres.
