Re: [DML] Re: Squirrly steering



I had a little of what you are describing when I first got my car. The
wibbly wobbly drunken steering turned out to be that 205's not 195 tyres
were fitted on the front. The clunk when I turned around corners was due to
the front body bolts being loose. If you open up the luggage compartment
and lift the carpet edge you will see a couple of (13mm I think) bolts, one
on each side of the luggage bay. I tightened them and the clunk
disappeared...
