Default HELP ! = [

The past few days when I have been driving on the highway I can feel my front wheels wanting to go right and left by themselves the slightest bit.

I came home last night from the track and I looked at my front wheels and theyre pointing out in opposite directions by a tad but you can notice if you look.

IDK Why they are like that and its really scaring me.

I jacked my car up and made sure everything was tight and was. I shook my wheels side to side while they were in the air and they jiggled a little.

If me telling you that helps any
Please let me know what you think

Thanks

Check your inner and outer tie rod ends, sounds like some or all might be a little worn and have free play in them.

Helps to have the key in the switch so the steering is un-locked and there should be NO free-play when you try and turn the wheels left and right...By grabbin the tire, lol...

Also look at the boots on your outer tie rods. If there original then most likely there are ripped and should be replaced.

Well then take it to an alignment shop and see if they can do the alignment.

They will tell you if they find anything bad. If it is the tie rod ends they won't be able to do the alignment.

You might just ask them for a alignment check. It's cheaper.

Also ask them if they can't do it is there still a charge.
