Welcome!

Has it got any mods?

1st off jack the car up, take off the front wheels and check all nuts + bolts are secure!

Allthough it sounds like it could need new wishbones, it could be the tracking too.

Deffo lower arms (I hate the name wishbones

)! I had that on mine when I got it. It was dangerous, and very difficult to keep in a straight line on a motorway unless you're doing an EXACT constant speed :lol:
