Default FUNNY FEELING !!! PLEASE HELP

Hi guys, I have a 95 escort cos, just recently when driving the car it seems very unstable and there is a slight wobble coming through the steering wheel,.. I have brand new wheels and tyres on the car new brake discs and pads and new calipers! when i am driving it it is like one of those american movies I am constantly correcting the car from left to right....

Any ideas please !

PLEASE HELP

Matt

i have had the wheel balancing checked and all is ok with them... the car has poly bushes all round and koni shocks with eibach springs.... I know this is a long shot but I had the same problem a few years ago on a 205 I had and it was the driveshaft !!!! could this be the problem ???

i had similar probs on my car.

Was a loose steering rack!

Nuts were loose, not sure how though.

May have had work done on yours and may be loose to.

Possible wear in the rack though.
