following the road sounds like it could be:
Bushes
rack
steering coupling
tracking
There doesn't seem to be any play in steering (was gonna put this but forgot) and it has just been tracked as it had a wheel bearing and 2 track control arms, and laser tracked, so that would probably leave the steering coupling and bushes. Can still read 'ford' on the bushes so maybe they are the original 18yr old ones, probably them, but how could I eliminate / confirm it being the steering coupling?
