A little bit of play in the steering...

Whenever I'm cruising on the highway (like 60mph), I get a little bit of pull to the left in my steering. When Im stopped it's a little loose but not terrible. I believe both of my tie rod bushings have been replaced. Had it aligned, said there was nothing wrong Time for a new steering rack?

Hey dude I get the same problem in my car, it's not really bad but just frustrating at times or when I don't expect it. I've also had my wheels aligned and bushings checked but it didn't correct it entirely. I think the problem is called bump steer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_Steer) - might just because our suspension isn't setup correctly. I know for a fact I have pretty **** suspension so that could be the cause!

Cheers

Check tire pressures, check the tires for uneven wear.
