Hi all just after a little help.
Me car has started to give a funny feeling when driving seemes to be more at 60 plus speed.
When the car is stationary and a rock the steering wheel there's a slight nock and there seems to be free play on the steering so am guessing it to be either inner tie rods or track rod ends but would that cause the car to give a shaky a drifting and a snaking feeling when am driving
Also it feels like the 2 front wheels are not balanced at all but a know they are ok as a have had them both checked.
The front tyres are wearing on the inside.
Has anyone experienced anything like this as a haven't.
This is on a E220 cdi w212 2012 plate.
Cheers

So the track rod ends were faulty so a have changed them but the car is still no different.
When a put me foot down to get up to speed the car just doesn't feel safe and a challenge just to keep it in a straight line any ideas please cheers

Sounds like the rack is goosed to me.
Wouldn't want to change it without confirming it though. Won't be cheap.
