Sounds like tie bar bushes! Get onto Superflex and find some replacements! www.superflex.co.uk


When you say fan speeds do you mean the blower fan?

Dandaz, the superflex part number is: SPF0669 you will need 4 of them.

As for other reasons it could be the rack. I had the same problem as Paul and I replaced the rack for a genuine one and it certainly helped. Also bearings have an effect too. Make sure they aren't worn and slack/over tightened.

The other area I looked into was my Ital top arms.. Now obviously Mk1's don't normally have these so that was more on my own car but If you do have them fitted for a telescopic conversion then always check.

8) i started to wobble before i was fifty...sorry steering we are on about. maybe even a wheel with a slight buckle. get the wheels balanced and when on the machine you will see if the wheel is buckled or not..there are umpteen things it could be.
