scary wobbles

[Ke70alex]

hey guys,

need help, the last 2 days the car has been feeling realy weird when cornering, understeering and feeling really floaty. its like i dont have to put much effort into stearing, but i have to turn the wheel an awful long way either side to get the car to turn.

this coincides with an alarming wobble under brakes.

ive poked my head under the car and everything seem tite.... and thats the limit of my diagnostic skills.

any ideas folks????

Well, you have to jack the front up off the ground and put it on jack stands. Test the wheels for movement. Take the wheels off. Check all joints and stuff. It sounds like something that would be very obvious to a mechanic with the front wheels off.

sounds like a failed low strut ball joint to me, odd that it has suddenly stuffed though
