Last weekend I was on way back from a 300mile round trip which is the furthest I have actually drove my car in a single journey. I normally only drive 10mins to work and back on a daily basis which consists of mostly one straight road with the exception of the few turns out of where I live and the carpark at work.
Anyway, I got a little lost and ended up on some twisty back roads. Eventually found my way to get home and and my steering wheel started to jerk. I was going round a left hand bend and the steering wheel was sort of trying to pull right. The car didn't feel very stable as if the front wheel was going to fall off.
Once on motorway driving in a straight line was ok and I got home, however noticing a knocking sound when I turned into the estate. Had a look under the car and every thing seemed ok apart from slight play, holding the front wheel at 9 & 3 o'clock and wiggling it. This was on both sides. I have replaced both outer tie rod ends. I don't feel any play at all. Some play is evident in the driveshafts in and out, is that normal?
Now I still have the same jerky steering accompanied by a louder knock. What else can it be?
