  10. wobbly check for play in the outer tca although they are fairly new yours will get more of a hiding as you do alot of track time and yours work hard (ive seen your vids mate) push the front wheel back with your foot and check for movement next grab the tca and check the inner bush for up and down movement whilst the motor is up check the wheel bearings in the usual way put a strong piece of wood or metal bar under the wheel get someone to lift the wheel whilst you hold the balljoint and check for any excess play in that area another thing to check whilst you can get to it is the track rod end again any excess play look at your `D` bushes for any wear in them also and its over looked at times wheel ballance and tyre wear an out of shape tyre can cause some strange effects
