Hey guys my 1999 Dse feels a little unstable on the rd seems like I'm always correcting the steering. I've hand the tracking done and it still doesn't seem to want to drive straight. Anything I could be checking thanks

This pops up on a regular basis. Unfortunately it could be anything from the tyres up to the steering box, or a combination of things. Decide which end you want to start then use the search function, not because I'm being nasty or lazy, purely because there are so many options.

as above, a forum search is always a good place to srtat.

you could start with tyres and pressures, move on to arm bushes, track rod ends, drag link ends, damper, rear arm bushes (yes, rear as well affects the front), shocks. tale your pic and good hunting.

no probs, got mine to do when i get back in a few weeks. ordered everything to do the job. new rods, bushes, damper. even bought a set of 16's for the winter. running the 20's is making it worse. mind you, the tread was low on the front when i bought it, but it doesnt move as bad as some i have heard about. the damper did make a bit of difference, but there was an advisory for the bushes. so thats the main section i am looking at. get it all set up and new, should last a few months

See the thread I posted about this a while back...

Start with things that are cheap / free first, like tyre pressures and steering box adusting...

Access to the adjuster is a little awkward, but once you figure out the required arm contortions, it's all pretty simple...
