#1: Steering - veering side to side while driving Author: Resist, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 5:56 pm ---- Hello everyone
Just a quick question...
While driving my 206 the car veers quite harshly from side to side. It normally happens at around 50mph upwards.
I recently changed the nearside wishbone because there was loads of play in the ball joint, but since I've changed it, this has started happening.
I jacked the car up and checked for play in the wheels and everything seems to be fine, so I'm a bit confused about what could be causing the problem. I've also checked that the wheels are balanced, the tires have all been inflated correctly and all of the tires have got good tread.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Peace!

I'm changing the drop links tomorrow because there's play in them causing a knocking noise from the front end, and I'll check the rear axle trailing arms as well.
