Dont forget to check your bushes too
The panard rod ones tend to throw steering in to a wobley mess

freeagent:
get your tracking checked, it almost eliminated the steering wobble on mine........

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Hi Barret,
welcome to the Mud Club. I had a similar problem on mine as well. Mine turned out to be loose panhard rod bolts (bar that connects the axle to the chassis); that wasn't picked up on the MOT.
Any probs, PM me I'll see if I can help out in any way with the spanner wielding bit. I'm not sure where Tadley is, but if its in Hampshire, thats close enough for me.
Cheers

The above is by no means an exhaustive list but those are the usual suspects.

On the wheel sbearings, had a mate come over at the weekend, excessive play in a front wheel but a litle concerned that he could feel it top and bottom but not side to side, "is this the swivels then?"

Simply, and luckily no.  The brakes clampo the disk and prevent you feeling the full extent of wheel bearing play.  The best ting to do is rock the wheel from the top, even if the car is on the floor and feel the disk withing the calliper, if it moves then it's bearings, if the whole lot moves but not the disk within the calliper it's possibly the swivel.

Be very careful that the brakes are on though, fingers into moving parts and all.

Thanks gents. I had 4 new tyres fitted last night so I will see how she goes today. Then start from there.
