My problem is that it is very hard to drive, as I travel along the road it vears left to right all the time. I think it has something to do with the toe in-out???
It is a constant problem and I have replaced the drag link? and the control arm, is it possible the power steering rack may be stuffed or would it be something else???
I have got no idea what is wrong but I really would like to be able to fix it as it makes driving the statesman a chore and I am all ways correcting the steering as I drive, I do not feel safe driving the car over 60 because of this
Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated.

The other thingis if you run really wide rims on teh front you might find this exaggeratres the issue of slop due to teh car wanting to follow the road.
Have a good look. But if you cannot find the area then take it somewhere and get them to find it.

In my opinion I think the wheels have a differant measurement if measured between them (like measuring track) I think the front of the tyres point in (towards each other and are not quite straight)
I have checked for looseness (slop) in all of the front end and cant work it out...
There are no real steering specialists here so I need to drive it at least 100 ks to get it looked at, thats why I want to have a go myself first.
The car seems to drive like its on a tram line and I have to steer it to keep it straight.
It is of major concern to me because it is the only way I can get my kids around

by the way dont run any bigger than a 7 inch rim on the front or they drive like crap.
