    Twitchy front end

    Twitchy front end

    Had a similar issue which turned out to be the front strut top mounts being worn out & allowing the shock/strut to move over bumps etc. Mine was considerably more noticeable at lower speeds & the steering would move when driving at a snails pace. Took me an age to find this out though as...
