Few car problems.
At a general high speed, the car seems to feel wobbly and loose, and at times jerks/veers around from catching what sounds to be wind channels. I also noticed my steering wheel is a bit slanted.
Does the car need a simple 'wheel alignment' and 'wheel balance', or is there a more costly thing involved with this.
Either way, atm its not urgent, so not putting other drivers at risk lol, just trying to catch it b4 it 'evolves'.
Cheers
Already on the phone, thanks
 
So cars float at high speed!
Most cars are natural air foils and lift off the ground ever so slightly.
I would not advise against having the front end and rest of the suspension gone over, at high speed any failure can be deadly.
But don't be surprised that it does not fix the problem.
You will either need to slow down (which is best) or get some ground effects to keep air from going under the car.
Keep them mild! A lot of the mean looking ones are counter productive. A small lip in the front should do it.
 
Everything you are describing definitely describes a front end problem. The thing is it could be any one of a number of things, so your best bet would be to take it to a mechanic and get him to check out your front end. But if your steering wheel is slanted while you drive and you seem to be grinding your tires then you need to get an alignment done.
 
agreed, the guys above are completely right, this can also be potentially dangerous, go straight to the shop, do not pass go, bring your check book
