hi,

i have just bought myself a sportrak to do a bit of off roading, it cost me peanuts and i bought it knowing it had a few small issues,

now

when driving along below 30mph the car is fine drives almost faultless, but you get to 35mph and the steering wheel wobbles, and you get a wobble/vibration throught the whole car, and the gear sticks are disco dancing with the vibration/wobble, but when you go faster the vibration/wobble gets a lot less and almost but not quite non existent,

now the steering wheel sits off centre to the right, i can only assume dodgy tracking or something, and when you turn left, or straighten the steering up to the centre and the vibrations/wobble get really bad, but then turn the steering back to its offset to the right position and the vibrations go almost again,

there is also a slight dead spot in the stering when turning left,

i have had a very quick look and due to recent weather not been able to look very well, i can rule out the propshaft uj's as there is no movement in these at all,

does anyone have any ideas where to look?

the truck has done 150,000 miles but does seem to be well looked after as i have pretty much all the history for the car, its only in the last 3 years its not been serviced or anything, but has only covered 6000 miles in that 3 years,

thanks in advance

ricky
