Worrying development

Post by Woody55 » Sat Dec 30, 2017 3:50 pm

So today I picked the car up from the carpark at the trainstation, and it seems to have developed an ever so slight steering wobble, almost felt as if the car wasn't stable. Although manageable it didn't Instill confidence and made me slightly apprehensive. Any how, as I was Parking in my drive I heard a metallic scraping noise like something was dragging along the floor but on further inspection there's nothing hanging off or obvious. Just wondered what your thoughts on this problem are.

Cheers in advance for any advice or help
