Slight steering wander
steering seems to wander slightly from side to side as if the steering is too light. Have checked the drop links etc and all ok. Tyres also at correct pressure and wheels balanced.
The excessive wheel wobble i used to have has almost all gone since i did the brake pads. don't think the discs were seated correctly and may have to have the tracking redone. so maybe this could be contributing to the wander. Anyone any other ideas?

Re: Slight steering wander
jack it up and put it on a stand so you can get violent and rock the wheel up in the air left/right (as in steering it) and see if you can feel any play.. repeat other side...
also rock steering wheel left/right about an inch or two and see if tyres move right away. they should do.. shouldnt be any free play.

Drivers side done about a year ago have a feeling the passenger side needs done although shows no signs of wear.
Will have ago at being violent with the wheels at the weekend, see how it goes.
Cheers chaps
