Car steering feels very loose on downhill bends over 50 mph speed, 'floating' like feeling when driving on wet at over 50 mph etc
Hey-I'm new:)-Hope this is the right section. I'm UK based btw. Ok... My 1998 Toyota
avensis's steering feels really loose when turning bends, in particular, when turning left
over 50 mph on a downhill curve on the motorway(it's now started doing it when turning
right on a bend too).Downhill driving at high speed gives the car a floating like
sensation as if it's not gripping surface(tyres seem ok). Also,when pulling in to a lane
on left, and to a lesser extent right, on motorway at 50 mph and above, it feels like the
cars going to swing right into the next lane or the backend will turn.Esp in wet
weather.! In addition,when i go over an uneven surface on the motorway for example at
50 mph and above ,the steering is moving in my hand to an excess and the car jolts
too much from left to right It's refusing to go over 60 mph too and starts to judder. I've
shown it to the mechanic he said it's nothing, just because the cars old.I'm not
convinced 'it's nothing'. I need the car for work, but this is starting to create anxiety
when i drive.I have to drive over that awful very windy high up in the hill, M62 to Leeds
at time & down to London alot too. I'm normally fairly confident at driving. Any
sensible ideas on what it might be? I was researching and from what i worked out it
could be the suspension? I don't know much about car mechanics, so any help world
be great. Thanks.
