Floating front end

Hi, Just noticed that recently at around 80MPH the front end seems to become a bit floaty..if you catch my drift, could this be track rod end problem? any suggestions greatly appreciated..

thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin, first check has to be the tyre pressures, check all round to ensure correct pressures are maintained. Secondly, try the car on a different road, sometimes the carriageway can cause some weird feedback issues through the steering.

Can you tell if the steering inputs are working correctly, i.e. car moves under steering control to change lanes properly? Check wheel alignment - all 4 wheels specifically, especially if you have been in contact with potholes recently.

Whilst the alignment is being checked, have the mechanic check for any play in the bearings and bushes. Any play in the system can cause the front end to feel "woolly", or floaty.

Hi

If the front end feels floaty, thats usually the shock absorbers, would replace both if it were mine

cheers
