I searched but couldnt find any threads with a definitive answer on my problem.
I recently did my track rod ends, swivel balljoint and for the mot i had the drop arm balljoint and the panhard bush done. The tracking was needing done but i hadnt noticed any improvement or deteriation in my steering. However i took it to have the tracking done and they did a bit of a job but couldnt complete it properly as i need a new tie rod tube (very slightly bent). Now im assuming the tie rod or drag link or whatever you wanna call it has been bent since ive had it but since the tracking was corrected slightly the steering has been all over the place. On a straight road it feels as if im constantly correcting to keep it in a straight line, turning a bend on a country road i can feel as if the steerings trying to go all over the place and sometimes on a curve on the motorway i can steer but itll take its time moving over. It wasnt like this before i got the tracking looked at so ive no idea whats suddenly caused it.
Any help would be much appreciated as ive been close to one or two brown trouser moments.
