[quote=PhilD]The easiest way is to jack up just one front wheel and grab it on the sides and see if there is any free play, there shouldn't be. While you are at it, try for free play top to bottom, which would indicate a potential ball joint problem. Most alignment places are pretty good at detecting a problem in the steering, as they can't do an alignment properly if there is any free play. The dealership insists its all tight, and they kept aligning it.

That sounds like soft shocks, great for a comfy ride, within reason anyway, but not bvery good for positive handling.They worked great on washboards at high speed. The tires would skip off the top making for a great ride. Definitely Rally type shocks. [/quote] Thanks for the advise, I'll check out the steering.
