you can say that if however i hadn't got new parts recently to try fix the thing so don't go assuming i have not made the effort to fix it, i'v replaced everything on it, and it's been the last month in which i have been driving it for the first time in a year,
'What model? I had a E30 325Sport MTech once'

This isn't a 'BMW owners love-in' you know, his car (by his own admission) is dangerous in this condition

it's an e36 318is, if i could find out what it is then i can replace whatever part is necessary
Top driver.......if you've 'replaced everything on it' and it's still unroadworthy then you shouldn't be on our roads

Bin it and get a car that is safe to drive huh?
Have you hit any kerbs hard recently?
When you spin the discs when on axle stands, do they bind up on pads or rotate freely by hand?
I still think you may have a problem with those tyres .. especially fronts.
Question Author
well i'm not on your roads anyway, unless you live in Ireland, secondly but however, i don't drive that much anyway because of the problem, and most of all at least i'm trying to find out whats wrong with rather than a lot of drivers that will keep driving without fixing things, i'm going to get it fixed one way or another, but finding out what could be the problem is why i'm on this, not unjustified judgement
Question Author
no, haven't hit any, the tyres are a bit bold i have four new tyres waiting to be put on, could it be caused by the steering rack or the steering knuckle
You don't drive a seriously dangerous vehicle much? That makes it ok does it? You could end up killing someone on the shortest of journeys

Lets hope you get it fixed before this happens eh?
'Tyres are a bit bald?

It just gets better!

well lets hope, after the last under steer, driving down the road at basically 15mph i'm not going to get anyone killed, that the journeys i make, is down to the bottom of a town to pick someone up, so no i'm not going to be killing anyone with that,
