I have a puzzling question......My 2004 LSE with 70,000 and good tires has developed a wierd problem....at low speeds, the steering wheel will turn itself left and right at least a quarter turn in each direction on it's own! At higher speeds it's not as noticable, but still present.

Soe people have told me it could be a speed sensitive steering issue, some say it's a steering column issue, some say tires others struts.....Man i am so lost.

I don't like taking the car to a mechanic without having some idea as to what might be wrong.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.....

Most likely cause it the tracking, take it for a 4 wheel alignment. When you drive down the road, especially bumpy ones, the track rod ends move slightly.

Thanks a lot, i'll give that a try. I'm brining it in next week to get some other work done to it, so i'll have them align it, rotate and balance the tires.
