Wandering and loose sterring

[suren2485]

I'm having issues with my car recently where my steering feels loose especially when im driving 70 - 80kmph. the car sways left and right slightly, i have to straighten the car all the time, i changed all the control arm and bushed and also did my alignment but I'm still having the same issue. It like the steering doesn't feel firm anymore, no road feel at all at high speed. Any idea why could be wrong. Any advice would be appreciated :3::67:

Sounds like the steering rack. Common problem for E46

Yeah.. Its a common problem for E46. Faced similar situation in the E46. Changed the rack, problem solved. Try and get it checked out. My mech advised to get a new one. Cost me nearly 3k... Cry.
