Perplexed - self steering 2.5si roadster

Get her to a pro with the proper kit, bloody sure an alignment and a decent set of rubber will sort it. Admittedly vast amounts of ££££ but it really is worth it.

When I bought my Zed I was informed that the rears were non rft and fronts were still rft. Car was bloody awful!!! Upon investigation only 1 of the fronts was rft the other was non rft. Changed to non rft all round now, P Zero's. And bloody hell!!!!!!! What a transformation its like a new car, far more pleasant ride and although does tramline a little, well it's sports car with rubber bands for tyres...... I love it..

The tram lining could be a sine the bush might want looking at in the future. But glad it better and your happy

Front wishbone rear bushes replaced today and car transformed. £108 fitted inc VAT. Meyle HD with 4 year warranty and only took my trusted indie 40 minutes to fit. Just need to get the tyre pressures optimised to bets the best trade off between ride and performance, but looks like 31F/33R is the way to go.

My car only had 53K on the clock, has just passed an MOT, but the bushes were really shot. I would recommend anyone with a tramlining / twitchy steering issue to get these bushes checked ASAP. From what I have read, these seem to be a weak point and for £108 replacement has made the handling / steering way way better.

Enjoy.

I put meyle bushes on my front wishbones & got an improvement in steering precision, I also got a sizeable benefit from oiling the steering column uj's, it seems they dry out due to exhaust heat & create extra friction for the steering, it feels far less "nervous" now
