well the car feels fine in the city and even on the highway at legal speeds.
even at 110-120 which is still above the speed limit here it feels safe but I should still get the issue fixed.
I just had a long stretch of road ahead one day and wanted to see how fast I could get the car to go (yeah not safe and illegal I know) but I got scared over 140 km/h due to the wobbling.
hope it's not also due to a bent wheel as I know the car was in some kind of front end collision befoer as it was repainted and even the hood doesnt' fit perfectly when you look at it close up. could it even be a bent frame?
but yes it might be bad tie rods or loose wheel bearing as when I tug on the front wheels I do feel like they feel a bit loose and clunk a tiny bit and the car does haev 250,000 kms on it.
I'll probably replace both tier rods / the other control arm also even though it's not bad, steering rack bushings / sway bar bushings and eventually shocks / struts.
