Tire pressure, tie rods (inner and outer), control arm bushings, steering rack mounts.

Mine slides around on the highway a bit, I see a lower control arm bushing that appears to be falling apart, I think that's the cause...

you are always helpfull :)

the first problem, when i was check the wheels, was that one of my front wheel had two loose bolts...which i have fixed.

i wonder how they got loose this way....anyway, its lot better now, but, i still have to check the play in the steering according to your checkpoints and post afterwords.

thanks again for your help.

Best Regards
