If these bushings "disappear" from age, you will get very sloppy handling. Also be sure your wheels are not bent, and that your tires are in good shape - the former can cause wandering and skittishness, and the latter can cause wobbling or bouncing (that includes alignemnt balance, and the tires' actual cords and belts). Be sure your springs are in good shape - they don't last forever, and when they wear out can lead to sagging and poor progression. Don't rule out the back end of the car as a suspect either. If your rear suspension (bushings, axle, panhard rod, etc.) are not in good shape your front end will be affected. -Justin
