Default What next?

Hey Guys,

Well I have just had the steering rack rebuilt and have replaced the entire tie rod assembly. And have already done, LCAB's outer ball joints.

Car feels really good overall, very responsive. However, i still notice if i hit small bumps the wheel will jerk in my hand. And sometimes will wander a bit. If i am turning in to a driveway slowly and when the wheel hits the bump the steering wheel moves alot. Is this normal??

Other times the car is dead straight.

Could this be the front shocks? They don't feel soft from what i can tell, they don't seem to bounce at all if i push the car down.

Can my tires cause this? Tread looks good...

I'm willing to replace the front shocks , they have about 125,000 km's on them, they should last longer right?

hey dudes, well i took it to the tyre shop and they found one of my front rims was bit out of shape. they put it on the back and now the car runs straight as an arrow again. no more wandering over bumps or steering wheel shake

well that will do for now till i get some new rims.
