Steering problem

[itachi-kun]

Hi guys,

I'm not entirely sure how to describe this but here we go. When driving straight my steering tilts to the left and right randomly. With a sudden force, I think it may need a wheel alignment but I'm not sure if this symptoms is due to the wheels not being aligned. Recently also noticing the steering wheel becoming slightly harder to steer not sure whether the fluids needs changing or not. Sometimes when I drive fast the steer would just tilt to the left which is quite dangerous because it happens randomly, like the steering wheel shifts to the left about 5cms and I would have to quickly pull it back straight.

Help =[

I think you're shockers might have collapsed (maybe not collapsed but something similar) causing you're steering to jolt left to right.

Happened to a friends Holden VT. He changed he's shockers and the problem was gone.

I could be wrong, but to what i have experienced with my friends car it sounds like that.

How much would it cost to get that fixed.

I've also noticed that the steering is harder to steer, seems like I cannot do a 360 single handed steer because its so stiff.

it could have something to do wwith your steering rack man... take it to a suspension/front end specialist ASAP
