i would look at the tyres before thinking of replacing the rack this could work out cheaper  :laugh: rhys

Would it  :huh: £125 for the rack, 3 packs of biscuits, job done or 4 tyres (goodyear F1's) £400+++  :wink:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

another update........

had the car checked over this morning by Mr Alan in work

he can find absolutely nothing wrong the car - no play in the steering, no worn bushes, joints or bearings

although i'm pleased there is nothing mechanically wrong with the car i'm starting to think i'm going mad  :undecided:

think i might get proper 4 wheel alignment done to see if that helps otherwise i can only think that the problem lies with the tyres
