Ford Falcon: Tramlining

...

I HAVE a 1996 Ford Falcon that doesn't feel stable in the steering. It shifts on the road and feels as if it is tramlining. I've had it wheel-aligned and have fitted new tyres, but to no avail. Can you help?

OLDER Falcons had an unnerving habit of wandering at speeds approaching highway limits. It has more to do with the suspension set-up than with the wheel alignment. If it bothers you, consult a suspension specialist. Replacing some bushes in the front suspension, or lowering the car slightly, can help. Also try changing the wheel alignment settings.
