Play between steering wheel and wheels..

Hi.. I've been experiencing a disconcerting sensation in the past
couple of days with my MkIII golf.. a looseness in response between
steering and wheels. Noticed this when turning at low speed, esp. on
uneven ground. It's unnerving, so I'm not driving it.

Got all new tyres at correct pressure, no obvious problems with power
steering, no loose wheel bolts. Any ideas? I wonder if the front
struts/support assembly may be a bit tired.. could that be it?

TIA

On a second generation Jetta, I saw the rack slide back and
forth......................its bolts were loose.
Check yours out and check the u-joints at the bottom of your steering column
near the brake pedal.

Of course check all suspension parts including the wheel bearings carefully!
