odd steering wondering issue.

Been experiencing this strange steering effect lately where the car seams to sort of want to go right when turning left and vice versa and a sort of steering wonder as if the wheel. I thought this was the usual link arm issue but no. Been through all the suspension on the ramp and can't find a thing wrong even the tracking is spot on. The general steering seams very light at the wheel I first thought the tyres might be causing it due to being worn so I fitted 4 new Hancock all season tyres at the cost of £475.
My Freelander has had all the main suspension components replaced ie springs, shocks, spring seats, link arms upper and lower. I hope its not the steering rack causing the problem.

Did you also check the rear end too as wear there can give a steering effect if the back end is going a bit wayward?

The rear suspension is fine as this was also replaced when I did the front which turned out to be a nightmare for me as Land rover kept sending me the Wrong rear springs then springs that were manufactured with a too short small coil for the spring seat resulting in them turning then touching the inner arch. This resulted in 2 weeks of faffing about going two and through land rover 42 mile round trips to get the correct springs.

I will be putting her up on the ramp later today to go through all the Ball joints. Funny thing last night had to pick up the Mrs from her mothers house in Cornwall to find the car never steered funny on Cornish roads which are in better condition then the surfaces in Devon.

Ahh well theres your answer, you can get into Cornwall for free so they make it nice and inviting, only when you want to get back out do they charge you, and you enter the rubbish roads again. Laughing
