i have a problem with the bg astina when i travel above 60kmh and turn left it seems like something in the suspension is moving under load its hard to describe its like a void in steering the front wheels will move right then left for a split second,
then when i back off it goes back
i have replaced outer balljoints,tie rods,rear control arm bushes
i took it to a mechanic on thursday an he was jerking the steering wheel and the drivers side cv joint was moving in an out alot also the rack and pinion was moving a little on its mounts
should the cv joint move in and out like that?

if ur talking about the cv on the gear box side yes it should it allows the movement of the suspension but it shouldnt do it on the upright side... if ur steering rack is loose it might just be a case of tightening it up
