I have a standard 2006 STi (EDM).

When I go over bumpy ground the steering wheel shakes and rattles a little as if something is loose.

The steering also feels a little vague, e.g. if I lift when going round a tight bend the car tightens it's line as you would expect, but you don't get any feedback through the steering wheel. I know the STI isn't reckoned to have the most accurate steering, but this doesn't feel entirely normal.

Car has about 35k miles on it and has seen a few track days.

Any ideas what might be up?

Could just be the bushes, they are cheap enough to get some poly replacements but a fiddly job to do

Thanks for the feedback, thought it might be bushes.

How many hours would a garage typically charge to swap them over?

I would say an hours tops, that's about what it took me on my back under the car

What tyres are you running? (and the fast rack isnt exactly the best quick rack on the other hand )

Running RE070's.

I don't have the quick rack (my car is European spec - EDM, not JDM).

Out of interest, does anyone know if the Spec C rack has more "feel" to it than the standard Europe / UK spec rack?
