RE: [T3] Wobbly Steering


The case of the wobbly steering, I had this problem two months ago .
I had two major causes of this and this got so bad after
runnung over rail road tracks at intersection, it was hard
to control the car for a little while after.
The first cause was unbalanced tires that lost their balancing
weights then the second cause was that the top sway bar
was so loose that the tires and top suspension arm rocked 
from side to side and oscillated for a while.
This was corrected by tire balancing and tightening
the swaybar (this took ten minutes, and greasing too).
Don't forget to grease gun the suspension nipples. this will 
prevent wear on the suspension roller bearings and 
side brass bushings on the swaybar so you will never (virtually)
have the vibrating side to side. I do not know if this is what
is causing your problem unless you have worn ball joints.
This was my experience.
